3x Hitachi 7k1000.c 1TB in Raid 0 on ICH10R with 128k strip.

I have used Maxtor and WD, and tried the new Samsung drives, no difference in overclock with any of them, since the PCI & AGP buss is locked, the hard drive should not be holding you back. Are you stuck at 200 FSB?
Quite chuffed with this little setup....helps with the game loads :)

Write/read caches are on. RAID6 configuration brings similar results.
Awesome results F.E.A.R.

7.9ms seek time, and only 2199GB, is that a partition/slice i guess. Nice systems.Quote:

Insane. And i'm thinking what to do with my netbook and it's 50MB/s transfers lol...
Some SSD benching, A SSD Benchmark on Intel X25-M G1 FW 8822 RAID0, same Adaptec Controller:

G1 RAID0 brings the same result than a single Postville.
I've bought X25-M 80GB G2 for my Aspire One, but results were not really worth it imo. Sure boot was faster and it used less power (i got extra 1,5 hour on battery!), but programs still loaded slowly (not all but mostly) and benchmarked speed was way below what i expected. Read was hardly over 100MB/s and that's something better HDD's for aptops can pull off for half the price and 6 times larger capacity.
I've decided to buy extra RAM instead and use SuperSpeed SuperCache on it. 512MB cache to boost existing HDD should do the trick for almost no extra cost. Plus, extra RAM always helps.
9211-i8 with 7 intels
first 2 pics are 4k seq 1 queue depth for latency and 4k seq 32queue for max perfomance
senond 2 pics are 64k file seq. 32 queue depth for maximum performance.
@ Agrophel
And without cache? (AS SSD) ;)
That read below 100MB/sec shows something is wrong, I'm over 200MB/sec single drive and just shy of 600MB/sec with 3 drive RAID0 in sequential reads in crystaldiskmark.
Does the aspire have SATAI ports instead of II?
maybe try updating the chipset drives?
does it do ahci?
@ Nizzen
And HDtune?
After about 4 months of usage, still running strong:

4 OCZ Vertex ssd's on a LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260-4i. Very sweet setup.

insane speed :up:
wow...sweet setup indead....win7 install time 2min?lol
whats mobos are u ppl using FOR THESE RAID CARDS???????????? 4x or 8x pci ex 2.0 slots are needed?
biostar engys and lsi engys told me NOT to use the 16x extra video card(XFIRE) slot on my biostar i45 mobo as it is 16x and also backwards compatble to 8x 2.0 but might wig out AND NOT officially supported or tested???
I'll answer your PM here. This is my configuration with the P6TD Revolution:
http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/8629/imag0123f.th.jpg
As you can see in the picture, the GPU in the first slot (2nd disabled due to his heatsink), Adaptec 5850 controller works in the third, finally 2 X Intel Quad PT Server (PCI-e 4X) on the 4 & 5 slots.
(bad picture quality sorry).
More drives and faster controller.

What stripesize is that? The default 128kb? Also, do you have writeback-cache enabled? I envy your 4k @ QD1 writes. How did you get 100MB/s+? As far as I know, at queue depth 1, those shouldn't scale with raid0 (unless you're ofcourse running a stripesize of 2kb, which would kill your sequentials, if that's even possible with the ICH10R. Probably not. Anyway, very nice results! :up:Running a single x25-m 80gb at the moment, but I'll order 2 more soon. I'll post some benches then. Hopefully my 4kb writes will scale as nicely as well. Kind of weird your 4kb writes take a hit when going to the higher queue depths, though :shrug: How much do you write to the array on daily basis on average btw? Your speeds are still new-like. Is the garbage collect feature that good in Intel's SSD?
This makes me really want to go SSD... I think I need to start looking for some deals. :)
