2x F60 @Raid0 vs. SATA (specs)

Hi there,

I just get 2 F60 last week and but them in RAID0 array. After i get my system runing and update. I testted my drivers speed, with ATTO. It showed me that both Read and Write is more then 500MB/s.:eek:

Q; How its posible, my mb is only Sata2 capable?

- Isnt Sata2 (spec) max speed ~300MB/s?

- If i buy 3th F60 in to that RAID0 array, do i get full speed from that too or do i need to firsth buy sata3 capable mb?

Todays test in jpg file.

Sry for my English :o:

Thanks for any help/ clarification!

It's that fast because you have data going down two separate pipes. Each pipe's going @ ~250 MB/s, therefore the total is ~500 MB/s.

In otherwords if you type with one hand you can type let's say 30 words per minute. Use both hands you can now type 60 words per minute.

Ok, thanks a lot!

Then i understand that speed. Do you know das it have limitations by chipset (Intel p55)?

Imean i have 6 ports will it apply to all?

Many thx! and greetings, Mummy

Ok, so after 3th ssd i can only increase storage space.

-If some prog use's all that speed from ssd's, will it effect for example on movie play at sata dvd-driver or will that optical driver have priority 1 ?

Thanks a lot of your help!

It was clearly good chose to update my pc with this ssd's. Now i only hope that Intel will get that trim command in to Raid array on next driver update ;)

Yeah, that would help if i had pci-e slot available, this gene mb is µATX(so smal power beast :laughing: ).

I think, i relax if i "get" that 3th one, becorse this i5 750 @4,2GHz maybe a "bottle neck" in my case, with these 2 ssd's already :cool:

But, thank you Wired and Ram guy for your fast replys! I hope this helped other wonders too.
