Raid 0 ( ICH10R )
http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/7...kinraidssd.jpg
I need some help with raid controller, i wanna buy a raid controller, but not expensive ( no more than US$300 ). What raid controller you guys recommend ?
Why do you want a raid contoller?
The ICH is an excellent performer, I cant think of any controller that beats the ICH using 2 drives.
I saw this topic that compare ICH10 with ARECA ( thousand dollars )

I don't know if I understood right, but i see more performance using Areca controller.
What you are seing are the effects of the 4GB cache module on the Areca controller. (it sort of out-smarts some of the benchmarking utilities)
The Areca is a great controller especially with the 4GB module installed but in real life performance the ICH is just as great for a small number of SSDs.
My advice is to stay on the ICH, for 3 or more drives a raid controller can be an option as one exceeds the bandwith on the ICH. (660-700MB/s)
This is the case for synthetic benchmarks, in real life you'd struggle getting any application to exceed this limitation.
I will follow your advices. Thanks so much. :bows: :bows:
YES shame it's only just capable using two drives as i just found out testing SSDsQuote:

next test adaptec 51245 controller
So max is 660-700 on the ich controller? Seems like its just about right for running raid0 with the crucial's w00tQuote:
