OCZ Vertex Drives

[F@32]

Flashing instructions - follow closely, I thought I bricked my drive when attempted ACHI mode.

2x32Gb Vertex on ICH10R RAID0, Native SATA mode on, write-back cache ON.

Before (sorry it was not totally reset when I benched that)


After (clean wiped by flashing)

We will see more ridiculous speeds in the next 6-12 months. SATA wont cut it anymore - we will need straight up PCIe attached bootable devices. Seagate and WD better wake the f@ck up.

Are you all using the 128 alignment? I've read 32, 64 and 128 beeing recommended at the OCZ forums!?

Tried 128 (Vertex 120Gb) on my Lenovo T61 laptop and all it can manage is about 120 mb/s under Windows 7....

Check if your lappy controller is really SATA2. My ICH10R was bottlenecking me at 166Mb until I enabled RAID mode and writeback cache.
