Just fired up my new SSD
Attachment 77511

Looks good

You should post your AS SSD benchmark in the Show us your SSD performance thread.

It's nice to see all of the SSD scores in one place

So we can

Hi Shawn,

Just what I was hoping to hear, now for the +300 sequential read and +250 random read

I just found this thread, so here is mine. So what do you think?

It's a bit low for those specs.

Check your BIOS settings, SATA, AHCI, etc.

I do like Raid 0
ASUS M3N78-VM AMD Phenom X3 8400
EVGA 8800 GT
8gm DDR2 800
2 seagate 500gb and 2 wd 500 gb drives

What should I do with the settings once I find them in my BIOS.

If your BIOS is set to IDE I would change it to AHCI.

There are a couple of ways, easiest is AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 after OS install.

First time I tried it (before finding this great tutorial), guess I was lucky, did quite a bit of searching.

I just loaded the AHCI driver, it asked for a re-boot, so re-booted, went to BIOS and changed it to AHCI, save & exit.
Started up with AHCI enabled.
Noticed a nice little performance increase.

My main reason was to get my external HDDs to hot swap, worked just as advertised, wanted to take them out after backup was done without having to re-boot.

Let me know how it goes.......

That's a nice bench for the RAID0
