Is this result acceptable for 2 Velociraptor 300GB in RAID 0?
The test was run in Windows 7 64 bit.

For reference this is 1 WD3000GLFS in AHCI mode on W7 64bit using Crystal Mark 2.2 on ICH11.
Your raid scaling seems to be pretty good. Hopefully another raid 0 user can chime in for comparison sake. As far as software raid goes, I'm guessing that is about normal.

I see, thanks for posting that up. Now I have something to compare with at least.

. looks good for a velociraptor array imo. about right. achi is very smart.did you enable write back caching or whatever btw? hey you say ich11?? chickenfeed you testing something ultra cool totally unheard of?if so, benchies please!!!

lol I wish. I was half awake when I posted that. ICH*10* of course.

Open device manager and under disk drives right click your array then select the policies tab ( I forget how/where arrays display in device manager sorry, its been a while since i had an array on my main rig )
Make sure both options are ticked for maximum performance.

Here's 4 velociraptors in Raid=0 on a raid card.
EDIT: And just for fun here's 4gb ramdisk. Too bad you can't set ramdisk more than 4gb. I'd love to install some games on it.

looks good samhughe that 4k is really good for raptors. nice! thats on the areca 1100? wow thats good!

Something completely wrong there, his 2 in Raid 0 are near as fast.Here's 4 velociraptors in Raid=0 on a raid card.

Use HD Tach(Vista+Win 7 needs it ran in XP Compat Mode).
i think the two in raid 0 are hitting burst readings there, look at the 512 and the 4k difference.

Burst readings? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Burst is next to meaningless, its only the Cache speed so 16MB in this case.
2x VRaptors is Raid 0 should be getting far more, like the results in Post #1.
IMO its better to use HD-Tach for Mechanical HDD's, it read the actual; speed we need to know about which for my VRaptor is about 105-108MB/Sec depending on your SATA Controller (I have 2 but cannot fit both in case due to GPU length).
Example HD Tune reads the far faster speed that WD claim for the VRaptor of 120MB/Sec which is the Buffer to Disk speed AFAIR.
EDIT : WD have now removed this speed from their site probably as its not the true speed that we would even see in use, this is a good thing IMO.
Im on the Intel ICH10 but see the poor results are on a Raid card, does this card have "Write back" and if so is it enabled ?
