Neutrino Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 RAID 0 w/ 2X Force GS 240. At install I just let Win 8 auto select Intel C600 SATA Controller Driver. Works fine but Benchmarks using ATTO and AS are slightly below what others are getting. Not displeased but just wondering... Should I have selected the Marvell SATA Drivers instead? First Post newbie here. Hello and thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardd43 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Marvell is much slower than the Intel ports. I suggest you download the 11.2 (or higher if available) IRST drivers. Also, can you please download ATTO and post your scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutrino Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Sorry I don't know how to open .bmk file for ATTO. Here is a different Benchmark attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incriminated Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 try screenshot (Print Key) and paste (CTRL+V) in MS-paint. :roll: Theres the post option to "insert images", USE that! try the disk seperately with BIOS-Mode Setting AHCI not RAID, or regarding speed refer to the raid-vendor. BTW: you reach +800MB/s seq read and +500MB/s seq write. do you have any source/target to copy from/to that fast? what are others getting? what exactly is wrong? if others jump from a bridge, do you jump too? I see no problem. When I review speed benches (even ASSSD) of your disk single and simply do the double-multiplier-math seems everything is quite at it's max. Still a disk doing 300 points at all does 95% of the same thing comparing to a HDD :D: Benchscores are naked transfer-rates are mostly irrelevant.

Incriminated Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Well, as you can see by yourself your raid0 exceeeding 1GB/s read and write of compressible data. Anyhow your CrystalDisk/ATTO-results are very good too, to what i think is quite exactly double the speed of a single drive, so there's exactly nothing to complain in my opinion. But if you still complain about speed, comparing to other raid0-users, you should compare their setup (which sata-controller in detail) and which and how many drives they got in raid. Still Corsair can not help you on achieving max possible speed with your RAID-setuped SATA-Controller, because officially the ATTO speeds that are advertised are achieved under BIOS-Sata-Mode AHCI. So if you are not satisfied, to what i think there is no reason to be, please ask "the others" or Intel. IMHO your drives both operate at very good speed and your raid0-setup on your Intel-Controller gives more speed than the SATA3-Bus can deliver by specification (600MB/s), so you should be very fine with it. Only the transfer-rates for ultra-small filesizes (0.5 - 4.0) are a little bit slower compared to single-drives, what i think is a natural effect of raid0, well but however these barely have any impact on your real-life speeds. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutrino Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Thanks for your help in evaluating the benchmarks. I just wanted someone smarter than me to glance at my scores. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
