numbers look ok .. I believe ,,

Here's what I've got now after getting another OCZ Solid 3 to run RAID0

 

[whs]

I wonder how much sense it makes to run SSDs in Raid if they are mainly used for the OS. The acccess times will not change thus the OS will hardly benefit from it. All the fancy data transfer times are meaningless for the OS since it does not R/W a lot of data - and that mostly in 4K blocks.

I also run FF, Steam, other games, and select apps from RAID so it makes sense to me

According to the overall score - this should be a very lucky drive



Write speeds are a little low, but meh. It's working fine.

Nice scores, the M4 is looking good, going to have to find me one.

 

[smarteyeball]

Cheers. While I didn't have 'a lot' of trouble with my Vertex2, I've had none at all with both the C300 in my lappie and the M4.

Doesn't RAID disable the TRIM and other clean up functions?

Yes, it always has disabled trim. I have seen some here say that you can get trim with raid now, but have never seen it shown by anyone.

It's possible on some Intel Motherboards:

Some of the new Sata III controllers (Intel? possibly Marvell) allow TRIM in RAID.

Garbage collection works regardless of config.

My spec is...
[FONT=&quot]Antec 1200 case. MSI Z68A-GD80-G3 board . i7 -2700K @4.2 GHZ. GTX 580 OC twin FrozR II 1536 Mb Graphics.Corsair Vengeance 16 GB PC3-12800C9 1600MHz RAM. Cooler Master Hyper 212+ CPU cooler. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Crucial SSD M4 128 [/FONT][FONT=&quot]GB SATA 6Gb/s . X2 In RAID 0. 500 GB HDD. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Crucial SSD M4 60GB.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]1200W PSU.[/FONT] ASUS Xonar D2X sound card.

Putting x2 SSD's in RAID almost doubled this bench mark.

That is a great score, congrats.

Nice rig

Good data transfer speeds, but the access times are rather slow. I prefer it the other way around.

 

[Brittas]

I noticed when gaming the loading bar that took ages before really flies across. I could do with another 580 in sli to be complete.

Very nice Brittas, sweet rig!

To save you having to take photo's on your camera, use the 'snipper' tool in windows 7, its in Accessories.

Just open it, use the mouse to highlight the area of screen you wish to capture and then save it to your pictures.

Then when you want to add a pic to a post on here, click 'Manage attachments' then choose the file and upload it and voila

I got snipper tool just had pic on camera. I was at work.
The only worry is that SSD's dont last that long.I better back some stuff up (game wise)

Don't worry. The SSD will last at least for 10 years (with normal usage).

The rumors that SSDs don't last long were exaggerated.

SSD Write Endurance 25nm Vs 34nm


The SSds are being written to as fast as possible to get actual life expectancy data.

They are lasting a very long time, much longer than the manufactures stated amount of writes.

At these amounts, an SSD will last a average user 10-20 years or more.
