my heat. 4 intels x-25e's 32gb on a rocketraid 3520 controller partitioned with an onboard ramdisk setup for some o.s. apps...raid 0. 790i m/b,qx9650.xp.

[Mr.Bean]

WOW

hmm, this controller 3520 have pcie8x = 8x500MB per line = 4GB/seg, ok ?

you have 4x SSD read 250MB, RAID0 = 1GB/s

because reason does not reach up to 1GB/s your bench ? Max 860 in HDTune

single bench of x25-E show 250MB/s perfect:

^ that just about seals the deal on getting x25es.. just waiting on supertalents ultradrive prices

mppc: thanks for the bench

[F.E.A.R.]

@ MPPC

[DementeD]

win7 on raptors

[MPPC]

@ MPPC

mppc: thanks for the bench

napalmv5: no problem. yeah u wont be dissapointed with the performance. there running in my gaming/benching rig..they have helped create a really snappy system.and the raid card is head and shoulders above nvidia fake raid.all instability is gone..

[NapalmV5]

wait thats mfted? lol @ f.e.a.r how did you pick up on it? apart from the higher burst

mfted should be higher than that no ?

oh well.. nonetheless

care to elaborate.its my understanding that ALL ntfs os's have mft file systems.

[NapalmV5]

f.e.a.r is referring to: http://www.xtremesystems.org/Forums/...d.php?t=218669

goodness f.e.a.r lay off mft for a bit.. not all results are mfted

WOW,,i want one!!and i dont fully understand it yet.for the performance its resonable..
but to answer f.e.a.r.'s question now.no,,its not done with MFT's.

@ MPPC

Please try CrystalDiskMark (1000MB), HDtune 3.50 (Random Access) and FC-Test too

HP SAS 10K 146GB x 2 (RAID0) on P6T Deluxe

[tomb18]

Hey Ekky

I just installed 2 15K Seagate 73g
Gb drives and my numbers are just slightly higher than yours. Are there any tuning parameters anywhere in the Marvell SAS raid?
Also HD Tune has a burst rate of only 85mb/s but HD Tack gives results similar to yours. Any ideas?

Thanks
