Meausuring QD in win7

[SteveRo]

Comp, if you run the benchmarks I propose I think you will find out why SSD raid 0 is not faster than a single drive in non enterprise applications. Access time is much more important than read/write speeds for the vast majority of desktop tasks at low qd’s and that does not improve with raid 0, in fact in can make it worse.

With raid 0 all you are doing is improving sequential read/ write speeds and that is not much use for the vast majority of desktop tasks.

I’m going to bet that at qd 1 to 7 (using a heavy desktop usage pattern) that read/ write speeds, once access time has been subtracted, is not going to be that different between hdd/ ssd & raid 0 ssd, but I stand to be corrected.

+1 with Comp - looks like all the top pcmark vantage scores are with controller cards and either SSDs or acards.
