I have a Gigabyte P35-DQ6 MB with the Intel RAID solution. I have 4 Seagate 7200.9 500GB HD in a RAID 5 config. My system is so slow – it is always accessing the hard disk. From what I read, it appears that using RAID 5 for the OS installation was not a good choice.
Given this, I want to:
1) Convert my RAID 5 to a RAID 10 – OR –
2) Install 2 more drives in a RAID 10 config and “Clone” my install from the RAID 5 config to this new RAID 10 config.
Any help on either approach would be appreciated.
Thanks
