AMD SB850/890GX with SSD RAID-0 first look

[tdbone1]

Sorry no one got back to you. And yes, this thread is dead. Folks moved on to new shiny things including me
Any how. Back on topic. First of all please run CDM with 1Gb test size for both scenarios. In off chance that your Windows RAID is still faster - do not despair. It is not unusual what you are observing. On some hardware Soft RAID-0 will be faster when it runs on host CPU. When you are running SB850 it is in essence Hybrid RAID. Someone will have better explanation as to why this is the case. This is even more pronounced on PCIe HBA like 9240 and 9211.

Nothing to worry mate.

i already posted a pic of the ATTO using bios-raid 0 with 64KB stripe but here it is again along with CDM

i dont actually have my 80GB back until tomorrow but when i get it back i will run more tests with the (2) 60GB back in windows soft raid

i already did the ATTO and it was almost 1100MBs with win7 soft raid0
it was awesome

btw i dont know what you mean about shiny new hardware
i have the best micro mboard out for amd (even though it is 1 year old)
my SSD are sata3 and rock
so dont know what you mean about shiny better....
