    Thanx to all.
    I have learned the hard way and this is the result:
    Looks like you tried to RAID the 80GB and 40GB, this will only use less than 40GB on your 80GB SSD.

    As mentioned previously, RAID'ing these is not recommended. You'll not see a noticeable performance increase, not enough to justify loosing 40GB on a SSD.

    RAID'ing two X25 V's will give excellent performance but you won't have Trim, you will have to run it manually and re-install often.
    Check the AnandTech site for the RAID'ed X25 V review.

    The total score at the bottom is very low for a single 40GB SSD let alone a RAID'ed one.

    Leave your Write Cache enabled, you'll get better performance.

    ...AHCI, good alignment, fast threaded reads...
    The AHCI part I figured out from Zenith2009's screenshot. Mine says iaStor in the same place, referring to the Intel Storage Driver. Is that OK?

    As for the good alignment part, how is that determined? :)
    Name: INTEL SSDSA2M080G2GC - model of the SSD
    Firmware: 2CV1 - Your Firmware version
    Controller: iaStor - Controller driver this is the Intel
    Offset: 103424 K - OK - Alignment is OK
    Size: 74.53 GB

    Which version of the Intel driver do you have?
    Should be v9.6.0.1014

    Check the AS SSD Benchmark thread to compare other SSD scores to yours.
    Click the 'Google Spreadsheet' to see a larger version.

    Yes, indeed it is.

    Will do - thanks!

    Yes, I agree. Windows felt not so lightweight anymore, hence, it was faster with single X25 80GB in AHCI mode. The only thing gained was Seq. Read speed. Everything else was alot slower.

    Maybe I will try to get another X25 80GB drive but I wonder if Raid controller on Asus P5Q is good enough for this task?

    As said another thing to consider is Trim function and complexity of raid array.

    I must also say this is really good forum, lot of replies and I like it.

    @tw33k,

    That's a nice score jump.

    What did you turn off?

    Thanks, and Welcome to Seven Forums.

    of course but it does show how good this drive is. over at AS SSD Benchmark thread the Crucial is beating everything (as a single drive) by a long way

    Thought you might notice that

    They're getting good benchmarks and reviews.
