Show us your SSD performance

[fseal]

I saw your posts in the other thread but you should probably explain your setup before being called a faker

I thought that's what the "My System Specs" link was for...

But if it's required:

9x Intel 34nm 160 GB X25-M SSDs on an Areca 1231ml card w/4GB buffer in RAID6. I'll be adding a tenth drive soon (it's on its way). I believe the tenth drive will max out the PCI-E x8 1.0 bandwidth limit of the card.

The Areca card lets me add drives, expiriment with different stripe sizes, switch from RAID0 to RAID10 or RAID6, etc without re-installing Windows or anything else (data is automatically migrated in the BIOS).

I use this fast RAID to decode LA traces for work. With conventional hard drives the decoding of a 16 GB trace takes 6 to 10 hours. With my RAID array the same trace takes two to three minutes (although admittedly, my SW is optimized for SSD drives, taking full advantage of the fast seek times. It also takes adavantage of Nvidia CUDA to help decode some of the transactions).

Also here's a link to a screen shot showing off my system w/other benchmarks...

Again, nice system.

I think that's the screenshot they had in mind when they invented the word "killer system."
Nice!

:shock:
That is one Very Nice setup you have, congrats.

 

[dhyme]

any ideas on how i can improve?

My 4K Scores are very low it seems. Is there anything i can do about it?
I'm running a single OCZ p88 500GB SSD on a 8x PCI-e.

[steve-pressman]

Just found out how to enable AHCI and these are my results seem to be better then before

Perhaps you experts can tell me if this is what I should be getting.

[Dave76]

That looks good Steve

AHCI does seem to get better scores.

Hello Steve, did you use this?

AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 after OS install

 

[steve-pressman]

Yes that's exactly what I used, I have tried before using AHCI in the Bios but it never worked then i came across your post this morning and I thought I would give it a go and Bingo sucess

Many Thanks for the great tutorial

How ever my Rig has gone back to the Manufacturer today as it keeps overheating and I have just spent 12 hours getting my old one working

Well, good news and bad; I'm pleased the tutorials are a help and I hope they sort the issue quickly for you.

Hope you get a quick return.

It's gotta be hard to lose your nice new computer, even for a few days

 

[steve-pressman]

Got a Txt message this morning to say the rig had arrived and that they were checking could take 3-5 working days 3 Hours later get another Txt message to say the fault has been found repaired and they will send the Rig out to me tonight so I should get it back tomorrow hopefully That's what I call great service

Thing that bothers me is I asked them to run the Prime test on it but in the 4 hours they had it they could not have stressed it that much, maybe they didn't need to as they seemed to have found what was wrong, needless to say when I get it back the first thing I will be doing is stress testing it with Prime to see how the numbers look. All in all I am happy with their service though.

Just as a foot note, I am using my old Rig again, it is bringing to light all the old problems I had with it and Win 7 sound, lag etc, makes me appreciate my new baby all the more and how well it all works together apart from running hot it is an awesome machine


Steve

 

[Dave76]

Congrats on the good news

That is really good service, commendable.

Good plan to run prime95 test, make sure it's been repaired correctly.
Heat is not your friend.

Let us know how it's running.

..yet another OCZ Series1 SSD failure..
..yet another RMA..


- guarantee should ensure an updated replacement..
- but, drat!!

Sorry to hear that.

How many so far?
