m.oreilly Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 i like benching with the os on the drives, from within the normal gui. not into the 'secondary' drive bench thing. there is an update for toggle drives out, and i hope there is an adoptable version corsair can utilize, as it does a healthy boost to what is already a flagship drive.

parsec Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Regarding your super duper, notice what AS SSD recognizes as the drive being tested, your HDD paired with your Accelerator. Since they are paired, you won't get the same performance as a standard, single SSD. The HDD really drags down the performance, given that it is being accessed, which I assume it is, but I'm not an expert on these combo drives. FYI, did you ever try running AS SSD on a single standard HDD? It takes forever, and the results are pathetic compared to SSDs. For example, my Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM HDD (and practically empty) when tested with AS SSD does result in Sequential read and write speeds of ~120MBs. But the rest of the results are shocking after seeing SSD results. All the other speeds are under 1MB/s, except for the 4K-64Thrd (Queue Depth of 64, ie, 64 commands in a line in the drives buffer to be processed concurrently) which is under 2MB/s. The final Score is Read: 14, Write: 13, overall 34. Your HDD is a 5400RPM "green" model, and considered more of a budget HDD that uses less power, so not a high performance HDD. While all the new Intel chipsets and SRT software, and SSD/software + HDD combinations are marketed as high performance products, and they certainly are compared to a single HDD, they cannot match a single higher capacity SSD in performance. I know the specs are close to single SSDs, but that must be on empty drives. An OS on the drive(s) results in lower test results, although is a much more real world result. Scores also depend on any CPU over clock, the more the better the score, and how much is happening in the background on your PC. If your HDD is half full or more, its speed will be lower than empty. Your results are still much better than your HDD alone would be, between 10 and 50 times what my single HDD is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuto Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 1) I tried as ssd with only the accelerator with same results (example=> F:Corsair Accelerator ATA device) for two of this disks. In the shop they got the same results, and with an old 16gb kington ssd they got 177mb/s. 2) this wd green is 7200rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
