Just realized that the reason 2 of my mirror sets on the external port multipllier are performing vastly worse than the other 2 is that they are not alligned to 4k.
I made them in the esata box which for some reason (either the box or the pcie silicon image card) hide the true sector size from windows, it just shows as 512 in the properties, so obviously windows would have had no reason to care about alignment.
Anyway, the other 2 sets which were made on the onboard controller and then moved to the esata box work a lot better, so I want to allign the patitions on the other mirror sets.
What software can do it even when the drive looks like its just a 512 byte sector size? Because it takes so long I dont really want to go playing around with all sorts of options.
