post your hard drive benchmarks :)

I just took 2 x Samsung F3 500GB (HD502HJ) and made my first RAID.

Decided to go for a Matrix RAID (two partitions on two drives, first two partitions = RAID 0 and second two partitions = RAID 1). Best of both worlds with only two HDDs.

RAID 0 - Write Cache Enabled



Impressive bench but really not as big of a performance boost as I expected.
Especially since this was the bench from my previous HDD:
Transfer Rate Minimum : 31.4 MB/sec
Transfer Rate Maximum : 64.7 MB/sec
Transfer Rate Average : 58.0 MB/sec
Access Time : 16.5 ms
Burst Rate : 102.5 MB/sec
CPU Usage : -1.0%
