Anything bigger and a permanent RAM disk should use ECC RAM. Bit errors will corrupt the data on the volume over time, especially if you are overclocked.

Thankyou for the advice, much appreciated :)

2x Compustocx 128GB MLC SSD (Raid 0, stripe size 128K) on ICH9R (DFI X38):

Write-back cache disabled (left) vs. enabled (right):

Give them a real controller and use 4+ and your system will fly... very similar to OCZ core series (Samsung-based with crappy Jmicron) but I didn't experience any unusual lags yet :up:

you can't be serious? that's about how one drive should be performing.

what seagate drives? 7200.10/11/ES.2?

Perhaps a bit late... but here are my results.

Cheers

Areca 1680ix-12 and 10 Seagate 15k.5 SAS drives

:D

WOW Nizzen! :shocked:

That is the highest average read speed I have ever seen on striped mechanical or SSD drives! The only exception being a RAMdisk.

That is awesome. Good job.

I wonder if there any other raid cards besides the Areca 1680 that would allow that high of read or write speeds.

Tough act to follow, but...

my 4 ssds in RAID 0

3 x VelociRaptors in a Matrix 300GB slice

Does this look right? I thought SSD's were less volatile that this...[IMG]http://www3.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php...26c34d236g.jpg[/IMG]

they are if you don't have anything installed on them (i.e. OS / Programs) for benching or accessing them (i.e. AV software running), under these circumstances so are traditional hard disks except instead of a slightly wavy line you get a curve going from highest read to lowest on the far side instead.

I am using them as my OS/App drive. Although, HDTune is running from my E drive which is my storage VelociRaptor drive. :shrug:

WD 640GB (16MB) in RAID 5 on a RR 3510 controller

Who has more IOPS or 4k-results? :p:

Left = read - right = write

they need to fix their write tests

after 64k the controller stays throttled @ max for 5+ minutes

Heres my main drive, WD 250GB Caviar SE 8MB (WD2500AAJS) (Slow boy) Q9550@3.6ghz Its way past due for a reformat, going on this format for about 2 years now... lol

Oh and heres my storage drive forgot about that one, little faster than my main, its a WD 1TB 16MB Cache (WD10EACS) same cpu/speed etc... Its got a fresh format as well.

@ Napalm

Which drives - Supertalent with Areca-Cache? (512k or 2GB?)
At write i see the typical write-deficiency of MLC. :(

Can you run read and write without cache, too? Please! ;)

Did I miss something or does that raptor seem a tad...off.
