Cant resist asking the following question.

From the M/B Specs that i Google found the following
In an effort to eventually get rid of the conventional IDE ATA standard, the X38 chipset removes IDE support altogether. Despite this, the Maximus Formula ships with a single IDE port thanks to the use of the JMicron JMB368 PATA controller. The ICH9R south bridge offers up to six Serial II ATA ports, boasting data transfer rates of up to 300MB/s. Intel also offers RAID functions for these four SATA ports, supporting RAID 0 for performance and RAID 1 for protection, along with RAID 5 and RAID10. Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) further boosts performance with Native Command Queuing (NCQ), and provides native hot plug for drive swaps.

Now
If the drives them selfs supporting 3Gb/s speed and the MotherBoard it self does the same, Why are is the speed result lower that that?
I know n00b question.. but here you have it.

Ok, now try CrystalDiskMark with 1000MB ;)

Its a shame to think that I was hitting the motherboard limit of my adaptor card with 5 going on 6 which is a shame :( Hopefully my i7 setup might allow it to go a bit faster :)

Well I was thinking along those lines and then I managed to pick up 8 Seagate Cheetah 15k.5 73Gb drives for less than 4 SSD drives and to which I'll have a super fast 4 drive raid 0 setup, one for Windows and general stuff and the other for just games..
So not only will I have a fast enough disk access for any hard work I might come across, but I'll have performance that doesnt slow down or degrade after so many read/writes :)

The weird thing so far, with two 4 drive Raid 0 setups, I can manage a 900Mb/sec and more average read but even more interesting I tested them simultaneously which I was very impressed but shocked at at the same time :)

Yep NapalmV5, thats me. :D
I havn't tested PCmark05 yet, but it should be really fast - as yours.

Selfmade low-Profile watercooling to match TRI-SLI-Setups, it's nothing special ;)
Should I waste my time on pics?

No Vertex TRIM in RAID so you are going to get significant degredation of performance over time with the array. It would be interesting to see the performance in 6 months.

2 supertalent 32gb ssd, raid0 on ICH10R...

I'm quite pleased with these drives.

Nice loonym do they come with a onboard cache like the vertex? I was thinking of maybe buying 2x64gb in a raid.. :yepp:

Yeah, they are extremely nice. I'm quite satisfied. I believe all the ultradrive ME models, which is what these ones are, have 64MB cache. The drives came with firmware 1370 but I flashed them to the 5-29 update I found at super talent site. I really was torn between the 32gb and 64gb models. I finally ended up rationalizing the 32's by deciding that if I really liked these 2, I'll add a third next month, and that's probably exactly what I'll do. :up:

Does this count? Windows thinks it's a harddisk? :shrug: :D

Try AS SSD Benchmark (in english or german) http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community...d.php?t=617226

Left without cache @ ARC-1261D-ML - right with cache @ ARC-1261D-ML
(both with 4k Stripesize)

RaZz!

a benchmark from an old (and dieing :D) seagate 10gb i did some time ago:

:D:D

dunno what's wrong with it, as the smart values are all ok and the error scan reports no errors :p:

I got critical Temp warning on the 300GB Samsung while it was benching.

^ goes to show that for ages seagates access times were and still are the last of their concern :shakes: ^

Hey Guys,

My first benchmark, I'm running two Velociraptors 300GB in Raid-0:

I did 3 in RAID 0 last week, it got ~250 peak, ~95 min. I'll have to repeat the test as I didn't get a screen shot.

My first HDD benchies! I have 3x WD black 640's. I have 2 raid partitions using intel matrix. first is 60gb raid-0 for OS second is 1200gb raid-5 for programs/documents. i will be adding a fourth WD 640 black in about a week.
