Samsung Spinpoint F3 Raid0 Benchmarks

[Shadowjump]

I thought since there aren't really that many reviews out for the new F3 series, especially in Raid0, I thought I'd post my own short benchmark result list.

Tomorrow I' ll add results from a single F3.

This is the test setup:

Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.4GHz
OCZ Blade @ 8-8-8-24 2000MHz
eVGA X58 SLi Classified (759 model)
Western Digital VelociRaptors 150GB in Raid0
Western Digital 6400AAKS (16MB Cache) in Raid0
Samsung Spinpoint HD103SJ (1TB) in Raid0

What would be the fastest RAID with 7200RPM drives, which controller, which hard drives and how many? AFAIK Samsung F3, HD502HJ and HD103SJ are the fastest 7200RPM hard drives ATM, I have the new WD5000AAKS single platter and it has slower read and access time than my two HD502HJ drives.
