8x30 GB vertex

Bah, since everyone is outclassing me, here's what a pair of lame-o patriot warp v2's does on ICH10R.. i need me a raid card, and some new ssds.

Seriously need a raid card, and to sell one of these and get a pair of vertex.

Samsung F3 502HJ through eSATA

The large dip in the first 10 seconds is due to my anti-virus.

Fantastic drive considering it only has 16MB of cache. I was very surprised that it was much quieter than my WD Black and a lot cooler as well (I can leave it passive without it warming up, but my WD Black gets a little warm after a few minutes of usage).

Seagate Barracuda 250GB 16MB 7200rpm Raid 2+0 ( 500gb )128 stripped

**Roger_D25** · 10-30-2009, 01:44 PM

pcnazz - Those are some impressive results for mechanical drives, nice work man! Cheaper, larger, and faster than my old 300GB WD VelociRaptor!

Intel X25-M 80GB G2 (FW 02HA)
Asus Maximus III Formula
SATA Mode: AHCI (enabled msachi driver after W7 install)
TRIM: Enabled and working

Does anyone know why my HDTune READ benchmark results take so long before reaching a steady transfer rate while some get steady transfer rates right from the beginning of the benchmark (even though some of those results come from people running the same SSD HDD and same motherboard)? I assume it has something to do with the software and the fact I'm testing a SSD that has an operating system on it. I wasn't able to confirm this but some of the benchmarks I've viewed with steady transfer rates right from the beginning came from SSD's being testing outside of a Windows environment? Thanks for any help you can give guys!

(2) 150GB Raptor's in RAID 0:

hey fear what is with the 4K QD32 on that crystal disk mark? i noticed thats an alpha build?

**AceBaran** · 11-07-2009, 07:48 AM

Intel X25-M G2 160 GB

5x WD RE3 1TB drives in Raid 6 on an Areca 1680ix-16. Note the good write numbers for a Raid 6.

**3dsag3** · 11-08-2009, 08:34 PM

Some good ol Ramdisk action

Patriot Warp V2

**tistou77** · 11-15-2009, 09:49 AM

Intel X25-E 32GB (windows 7 + AHCI)

it's better to write (Seq and 512K) that Solidata SC-64GB while these specifications are 280/270

**F.E.A.R.** · 11-15-2009, 10:36 PM

@ tistou77

Please fill every partition full with writing (with small files - e.g. FC-Test, h2testw or Eraser (random data)).
Then delete 1GB and retry CDM 3

Finally got my four 80GB Intel x25-m SSD's today (ordered them 3 months ago) so I can post my results! 4 x Intel x25-m G2 SSD's on an XFX 780i motherboard using onboard (software) RAID0;

This is with Windows 7 64-bit default storage controller driver.
The scaling of sequential write performance is great, I have run AS SSD a few times and seen over 320 MB/sec.
This fixes the low sequential write 'issue' for Intel SSD's for me.
Unfortunately the read performance doesn't scale as well as it could for 4 drives, with the 780i chipset limiting the maximum sequential read to 635 MB/sec (although that is more than 3 times more than my previous setup with two 150 GB WD Raptors, so I'm not complaining).
I was curious about the random access times and ran HDTune to get an idea (read only)

DAMN!

The 780i chipset is really holding things back but it doesn't matter as four x25-m's in RAID0 blow any mechanical hard drive out of the water.
I wonder how they would perform on a SATA 6 Gb/s PCI-e raid card...

Samsung F3 1TB HD103SJ

**icywater** · 12-08-2009, 04:30 PM

2x intel SSD x25m 80Gb

**kuchaiii** · 12-22-2009, 12:09 PM

WD Caviar Blue 320 GB, 16 MB Cache, SATA II, 7200 RPM, RAID 0 (2 drives) via ICH10R

**Kwisatz Haderac** · 12-22-2009, 04:18 PM

Here is my Corsair X64 after the OS install running in IDE mode.

My Theory is that on a SATA6Gbps card they would perform similarly unless it was a true controller based card and not a emulated controller one like ich10r and 780i chipset raid if i'm not mistaken.

With a good card you would drop cpu utilization a ton when doing disk intensive stuff (av scan etc), overcome the bandwidth issue and probably squeeze some more IOPs across the board although probably mostly at the smallest file sizes.

**BeepBeep2** · 12-24-2009, 04:27 PM

2x WD Caviar Black 640GB (shortstroked) in RAID 0 on AMD's SB750 RAID Controller...CPU Use is whacked, ran it 3 times...HD Tach is completely different...(Burst is 280 MB/s, 3% CPU usage) not bad for the $150 I spent for them.

**Nizzen** · 12-25-2009, 01:46 PM

Any faster raid-5 and raid-6 with harddisks?

**Levish** · 12-25-2009, 04:41 PM

nice! thats got to be ~8 SAS 15k SAS drives?

**mattkosem** · 12-25-2009, 09:33 PM

3x Hitachi 7k1000.c 1TB in Raid 0 on ICH10R with 128k strip.
