what do i select

**SKI** · 11-06-2002, 09:08 PM

Sorry, the D/L instructions are pretty old. Here's how to get the util. that you can use to benck IDE RAIDs. (NOTE: Look for the "ATTO benchies" thread for some tests to compare to, & see how we're configuring ATTO. Different setups will give different results: pay attention to all the settings in the screenshots so you can get a reasonable comparison)

i just installed a new diamond max 9 89 gig with 8 mb cache maxtor drive and tried using powmax program to check it....it can't see the drive..........says drive not found.................i tried same program with other older maxtor drives and it runs fine.I guess maxtor's program needs updating? anyone else have similair experiance?

RedBaronK · 03-02-2003, 01:58 PM

its normal, powermax cant find bios info on new motherboards. i had the same issue

maxblast 3 recognized my drives, and maxtor guy said its fine as long as maxblast sees it.... he said they will release a new powermax soon.
