Thanks everyone!
Haha Like I said I was hopeing for high 700 Mb/s, never expected it to be this fast.
Its 2 OCZ Vertex 3 120GBs hooked up with some sata III cables directly to my motherboard. Then configured into a RAID 0 array with Intels Matrix Controller which comes with my motherboard. Nothing special about the setup at all.
Not really sure why its so fast but Ill take it
Great stuff, I'm stoked for you!
I have a basic Samsung 470 Series... 64 GB.. on my DJ laptop and music production machine.
It works like a chimp!
Have you notice how Windows 7 is so snappy? I have extensively tweaked the O.S ... no internet and turned off a lot of services.. as it is designed just to run professional music programs.
lol....... it boots from cold in about 7 seconds.
The whole machine has been transformed, all my plugins and soft synths react a lot better and I think it's essential for a laptop to do away with the old spinner type set up as the boot drive and O.S and progs.
I dunno.. its just so... so reactive when I use these very intensive applications... before it was quick... but as I have a lot of VST it just took a while to load them up within the music production software.
Some of the benefits of manual OP and Garbage Collection without the benefits of Trim.
PCI E SSD drives cannot take advantage of trim. However, the addition of manual OP and reasonable logged off times (couple of hours a day) to allow built-in garbage collection to work can work wonders. My RevoDrive 3 X2 was installed around the beginning of September. Since then it has been used extensively with enough data written, deleted and replaced to cover the capacity of the drive several times. Logically, it should have moved from the "fresh" state to the "mapped" state to possibly even "hammered" phase during this time, specially lacking trim.
I am posting two of the ATTO runs on this drive. The first one done during the "fresh" state in early September (and posted on this forum) and another one done in mid December. Even taking into consideration, differences between separate runs, the performance of the drive remains unchanged.
