    ATTO shows 504, however the other benches were showing 1XX Mb/s for this drive

    Yes, ATTO & Anvil's Bench seems to be reporting the sequential writes as the spec reads. What's with the other benchmark tests reporting sequential writes so low?

    Question

    I read somewhere (maybe on this forum, not sure) that declared SSD speed is based on ATTO benchmark (if that's true ).

    My question is that speeds on benchmarks i post here is okay or not for 120GB HyperX?

    I'm a little confused...

    Well my HyperX 120gb drive took a dump on me last week Thursday. Some of the system files went corrupt and I had to format it and reinstall my OS.

    Did the drive corrupt from unstable clocks or is the drive up for RMA?

    @k0pc1n4

    Is that drive connected to a SATA III controller? Your sequential read is line with the drive's spec, but the sequential write spec is around 500 Mb/s, if connected to a SATA III controller.

    It was weird, I was just sitting here browsing the web and my computer just shut down, didn't even BSOD or anything like that. So I went to restart and Windows7 wouldn't start because of corrupt files, I tried to restore it using my 7 disc but that didn't work so I had to do a fresh install. It's been working for about a week with no issues so I have my fingers crossed.

    Yes, it is connected to SATA III controller.
    SSD will not reach over ~280MB/s in read/write speed (theoretically 300MB/s) if it is not connected on SATA III (6Gbps).

    I check my results on on some reliable review and everything is okay (there is only 1-10MB/s difference).

    There is it:
    ATTO Disk Benchmark is a testing product developed by storage product manufacture ATTO Technology Inc. The testing program dates back nearly a decade and is the sole performance indexing product chosen by storage product manufactures to deliver a generic set of performance numbers. ATTO Disk Benchmark measures raw performance and gives us the numbers quoted in a products specification list.

    It seems that Anvil's benchmark & ATTO corroborate. Good to know that the manufacturer's utilize ATTO to derive their specs as well. Maybe AS & Crystal Mark need updating? to deal with new SSD controllers?

    Been stalking these drives because of the increase in write performance compared to existing market. The only question that seems open on these drives is reliability.

    so guys, here is my quandry: I just bought 2 of these 120G ones, and I have the Intel DX58SO2 mobo. There is a long thread that I read on the Intel forums about how the SATA 3 ports on my mobo are only connected to a PCIe x1 lane. Meaning, when I raid0 the 2 drives, no matter what I do, I only get a speed that caps out at about 425M/s because the lane is saturated and locked at 5G/s per mobo design. How do I get around this???? I have looked around at Newegg and Amazon, and there doesn't seem to be a worthwhile RAID controlled card for under $500!! Did I just have the bad luck of buying the wrong mobo??!!?? This is *really* bothering me; I just spent $500 on the set of drives, and I really want to get the 800-1000M/s numbers that several people have been posting......

    you need to buy an expensive new controller (only expensive controllers are best at SSD raid), or switch to a NEW motherboard with legitimate intel 6gbps. or, if you you listen to me, you'd sell both those ssds, stop chasing numbers, and get just one crucial m4.

    Umm. My current setup exceeds the specs of the m4 for 2/3rds of the price......

    So...I figured out my problem. It seems like the contacts on the drive aren't thick enough. They seem to lose the contact with the cable and then the drive is useless. After I wiggle things around a bit it works again, also I have tried a couple different cables now and it still seems to vibrate loose or something although it feels like the connection is tight...

    Drives look sick and when they work they are fast. Hope LSI cleans up the sandforce rep.

    actually, I ended up returning these drives. X58 chipset for the loss. If I can get a good raid controller, I might reconfigure, but I ended up getting a Revodrive 3 and so far I am very happy with it.

    yeah. For whatever reason it only does 880M write, 975M read on my setup, but I think that is good enough.

    Intel Sata 6 controller on Asus Z68 Pro MB in Raid 0 of course.

    yeah, the Z68 chipset, unfortunately not an option for me as I have LGA1366 :8

    And again. My computer locked up and I wiggle the connections at the drive and it comes back. I guess nobody else is having this problem...I'm keeping my side panel off forever.

    Yeah ... I'm not having the problem. Sounds like a bad Sata port or Sata cable....

    I've already tried a few cables. It's definitely not the port on the motherboard itself because I haven't had to touch the cable there. I move the cable around at the drive itself and it'll work again, maybe it's just dirty and needs to be cleaned.
