Bah, since everyone is outclassing me, here's what a pair of lame-o patriot warp v2's does on ICH10R.. i need me a raid card, and some new ssds.

Fantastic drive considering it only has 16MB of cache. I was very surprised that it was much quieter than my WD Black and a lot cooler as well (I can leave it passive without it warming up, but my WD Black gets a little warm after a few minutes of usage).

Does anyone know why my HDTune READ benchmark results take so long before reaching a steady transfer rate while some get steady transfer rates right from the beginning of the benchmark (even though some of those results come from people running the same SSD HDD and same motherboard)? I assume it has something to do with the software and the fact I'm testing a SSD that has an operating system on it. I wasn't able to confirm this but some of the benchmarks I've viewed with steady transfer rates right from the beginning came from SSD's being testing outside of a Windows environment? Thanks for any help you can give guys!

it's better to write (Seq and 512K) that Solidata SC-64GB while these specifications are 280/270 :confused:
@ tistou77
Please fill every partition full with writing (with small files - e.g. FC-Test, h2testw or Eraser (random data)).
Then delete 1GB and retry CDM 3
Finally got my four 80GB Intel x25-m SSD's today (ordered them 3 months ago) so I can post my results! 4 x Intel x25-m G2 SSD's on an XFX 780i motherboard using onboard (software) RAID0;
http://members.iinet.net.au/~michael...s_in_raid0.gif
This is with Windows 7 64-bit default storage controller driver.
The scaling of sequential write performance is great, I have run AS SSD a few times and seen over 320 MB/sec.
This fixes the low sequential write 'issue' for Intel SSD's for me.
Unfortunately the read performance doesn't scale as well as it could for 4 drives, with the 780i chipset limiting the maximum sequential read to 635 MB/sec (although that is more than 3 times more than my previous setup with two 150 GB WD Raptors, so I'm not complaining).
I was curious about the random access times and ran HDTune to get an idea (read only)
http://members.iinet.net.au/~michael...ccess_read.gif
DAMN! :D The 780i chipset is really holding things back but it doesn't matter as four x25-m's in RAID0 blow any mechanical hard drive out of the water.
I wonder how they would perform on a SATA 6 Gb/s PCI-e raid card...

My Theory is that on a SATA6Gbps card they would perform similarly unless it was a true controller based card and not a emulated controller one like ich10r and 780i chipset raid if i'm not mistaken.Quote:

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?

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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???

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?Quote:

How many ssd's and what controller? bit over kill :P, i know its areca but which version?
I just took 2 x Samsung F3 500GB (HD502HJ) and made my first RAID.
Decided to go for a Matrix RAID (two partitions on two drives, first two partitions = RAID 0 and second two partitions = RAID 1). Best of both worlds with only two HDDs.
RAID 0 - Write Cache Enabled
http://i26.tinypic.com/5ls5jd.png
Impressive bench but really not as big of a performance boost as I expected.
Especially since this was the bench from my previous HDD:
Transfer Rate Minimum : 31.4 MB/sec
Transfer Rate Maximum : 64.7 MB/sec
Transfer Rate Average : 58.0 MB/sec
Access Time : 16.5 ms
Burst Rate : 102.5 MB/sec
CPU Usage : -1.0%
What do those real big spike drops represent in the bench directly above??
When I didn't have 'write cache' enabled it looked really clean, here's the pre-write cache bench:
