I do also have an ASUS A8V with 2 SATA disks, one on each controller (Via
and Promise) and everything works fine

here are the results with bonnie++ on both disks :

please note that these tests have to be taken with a grain of salt :

the partitions are not equivalent : much different in size and the one on
the via was freshly created while the promise is huge + already
populated with lots of existing files

I hope to be able to run the same tests on both drives soon under the
(almost) same conditions


anyway, one can maybe conclude that via is faster than promise on this
motherboard
