  • Low write rate on LaCie Raid Array.

    Posted by Don Walker on April 8, 2006 at 7:32 pm

    I have a LaCie SATA Raid Array (Biggest S2S) hooked up to a Dual G5 2.0 machine (3gigs of Ram, FCP 5 on Tiger) with a Kona LS card installed. It’s been aborting renders, not every time but at least half the time on our 1 hour program that we edit on the machine. It says a write I/O error. When I ran the Kona system test utility, it says the array is only writing at 12MB/s rate which I know is low. everyting else seems to be working right. Any ideas? The SATA card and the Kona card are both in slots suggested by AJA.

    Don,

    Your SATA array is clearly not functioning properly. Depending on the number of drives in your array you ahould be getting throughput of 150MB/s to $260MB/s. I would suggest that you disconnect the Kona and work entirely on getting the SATA drive and card configured properly first. Then, go from there… Did you erase the SATA array after initializing???
