Is this fast enough?

2 120GB OCZ Agility 3 in RAID 0 on Highpoint Rocket RAID 640 Gen 3 PCIe 4X controller card

Can you test with HDTune? I am getting an average of 266 mb/sec with that and I feel as though I would be ripping you off with a number like that.

Plus the Agilities don't have any cache, so writes have to occur directly to the memory, requiring all the work to be done immidiately.

http://img.techpowerup.org/110917/Disk Speed 1.jpg

Increase my speed by tweaking NB speed and disabling PCIe power control, so it stopped putting lanes to sleep when not used. Stability testing continues today. After 24 more hours I will add the second array of 2 3TB hatiachi drives in their own RAID 0, then my 2TB drive by itself to be a backup drive.

Again, HDTune, if possible. :/ :confused:

Hi, can my results for RAID hard drives be added please?

thanks.

Can you test with HDTune, because I really have no way of picking out an average with that.

HD Tune didnt saturate the bus enough and only reported 400-600MB reads for its random writes, however it did report .1 ms access time. Accessing additional media on the drive caused the full bandwidth to show up, and I tried it twice to verify.

Average on a SSD doesnt matter, it has no average, just different efficiencies at reading and writing file sizes based on their internal storage configuration, strip size on RAID, and NTFS file size.

Once almost 3TB of data has been transfered onto the other volume and i get a chance to sort through some of it I will rebench. Right now my 750Gb barracuda is dying and has already claimed a few pictures that didn't make it inot the monthly backup onto the other 2TB drive :(

I retested again with the netbook and there weren't any dips this time, and the minimum speed was now 37.7 MB/s

If you update the minimum speed from 1.9 to 37.7 it would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks :)

UPDATED!

AsRock, I only added your last post to the list. I did that because I was hoping you could test with the other program with your SSD. That way I can post the most accurate results.

These are my results for ATTO using 2x120GBs OCZ Vertex 3 MAXIOPS in RAID 0:



And these are my results with HD Tune:



I have to ask though, after reading the warning, what's the risk of running this app with SSDs? I tried it out of curiosity, but does it reduce the life expectancy for my drives?

None of this is an issue if all you are doing is measuring READ speed. It's tests that use WRITE speed that are the problem. HDTune is F-I-N-E as a read test.

You'll find many a Hard-Disk reviewer using HDTune READ tests. Check any review site. ;)

people are warned about running HD Tune that's it's bad for them so it not going happy sorry to say.

Read that first one.
