I think it is worth a few people chipping in to agree what would constitute normal os use and what is more cpu or ram dependent. If it would help I could run the exact same tests on my system between 2xX25-e’s and one X25-M g2. (As long as it does not involve installing 40 appsOriginally Posted by lowfat
I'm open to some suggestions
I think it would also be really interesting to see if over clocking the cpu & ram makes any difference to read/ write speeds. (I’ve not noticed any difference but I can only get to 3.7 and 1600.)
I don’t do much more than; create ISO’s (rare). Create wave and mp3 files typically ranging from 6mb to 700mb. Zip/ unzip files. Play COD . Create/ save ps files (no bigger than 50mb.) Watch blue ray. Rip dvd’s/ blue ray. Rip cd’s. Create 3D images and render (rare.)
The only time I’ve noticed my drives suffer was when I copied 600mb of 4k files and that was with raid 0.
Edit: It would also help if people that have noticed a real world difference between raid and a single drive give some examples. Cx-ray, I'm not sure why you would see any delay in the items you mentioned. I've just opend a file with 1,600 mp3's with embeded artwork. If I switch to thumbnail view it is instant and the mp3's are on a 7.200 hdd!
