I bought my Fusion Ioxtreme to speed up the process of my video conversion but the software im using will for some reason only convert the video at 1mb/s its not useing the full potential of the fusion ioxtreme. Is there any software that i can use to utilize the speed of this drive to get my conversions done quicker?

I think this might be more to do with your processor than the ioxtreme.
You need to check if the software is using all the cores effectively.
it is in task manger i have 2 quad core opterons it just seems really slow
Marcus, where is your video conversion prog(s) installed? Also, where are the files you intend to convert stored?
everything including the codecs and video file and destination of the output are stored on the ioXtreme. I'm converting .mkv to .wmv if this matters any
Video conversion is very CPU intensive, the ioXtreme can make sure your CPU doesn't lag in getting the data but at some point its all CPU.
well shouldnt i be getting fast speeds then 1mb per second if i have 2 quad core 2344 opteron processors at 1.7ghz
