Download Driver For VIA RAID Performance Patch 1.02

spil writes: “A new RAID Performance Patch can be found on the driver download page of VIA arena. Several forums have stated that the RAID performance of on-board RAID controllers (Promise, HighPoint) is not as it could be/ This patch could provide an improvement by changing the latency on the PCI bus of the VIA chipset.”:

This patch, for all Microsoft Operating Systems, will increase the burst rate with the following RAID controller chips: Adaptec, Acard, Highpoint and Promise. This may not be noticeable in overall Hard Disk performance benchmarks as burst rate is not measured separately and only makes up a small percentage of Hard Disk performance. This patch can be used on all VIA chipsets. The driver in this zip file is the viapfd.sys version 1.05. This file was last updated on 7 February 2002. The change from the previous version is that it fixes an error message that would sometimes appear in the event viewer.
