Puggle Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Following the tutorial sticky here http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=85344 I have some great results for 2 x X32 in RAID 0 128k stripe. The first image is fresh from the factory, fresh install of win7 x64, and test. The second image is after 6 months of use. The third image is after a secure erase and restore of win7x64 using acronis. Still not up to manufacturer speed, especially for RAID 0, but what a difference secure erasing makes. Suggest you secure erase ALL drives fresh from the factory, before installing Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3k Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 if that's two drives in raid 0 they're running quite slow? not even Read:180MB/s? My two Novas reached over Read:550MB/s perhaps your motherboards raid controller is weird... Im sure ONE X series is rated for over 180MB/s read... 240 iirc?

Puggle Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Yes, this is slow for 2 in RAID 0. My next job is to check the controller... still interesting to see the improvement after secure erase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3k Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 without a doubt, I also noticed improvements doing this on the nova series. edit i just did it and posting results: its a shame my other v128 died though :(: ps: 32kb allocation size http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/6034/ssdfresh.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
