Just got the drives flashed with the 1370 firmware and installed Windows 7. Here is a quick test.

Main: i7 2700k @ 5.0Ghz, ASUS Maximus V Formula Z77
16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600, ASUS GeForce GTX680
2x240GB SanDisk Extreme RAID0, Seasonic Platinum 1000, Corsair H100
Server: i7 2700k, ASROCK Z68 Extreme7 Gen3
16GB Patriot 1600, 120GB SanDisk Extreme
5TB JBOD, Corsair 850TX, Corsair H100
Media: Phenom II X4 940BE, Biostar TA790GX XE
4GB Corsair XMS2 1066, VisionTek HD4850 512MB
60GB OCZ Agility 3, SilverStone ST400
Should I buy 2x Vertex 60gb and put them on RAID 0 or just pick up one 120gb Vertex? If I put those 60gb ones in RAID 0, is it 120gb then?
Thx!
Yep you will get 120GB with 2x 60Gb drives in raid 0.......It's doubtful that you will see any real tangible speed increase from a raid 0 set up however and more importantly you will not be able to use the TRIM tool in raid, so chances are that a raid 0 array will end up being a lot slower. Maybe TRIM will be supported in raid at some stage but that's not the case currently.Originally Posted by Saimo
You also have more chance of a data failure in a raid 0 array if one of the drives goes bad.
