First off you will get a lower score in windows with the SSD setup in raid.

I had two setup that way and got a 6.9 score. When back to a single drive setup and got a 7.9 score. 

With the way the prices are coming down on SSD's. I feel that you are wasting your time with raid today.

I was raid junkie and have drop it years ago. I have a 240gb SSD with two raptor 6gb / 600gb HD's.

It is up to the person on what they want to do, but again in my opinion I think you are wasting your time.

A single SSD will blow away your raid with all those raptors.

I only want a simple answer from a expert.
everything you said goes against common sense.
Using windows to benchmark is the wrong thing to do for it cant be trusted to give a reliable result.
and stating a single ssd will blow away 4 raptors is allso wrong.
It might do on a single write faster but random burst its level pegging but random write the raptors destroy a single ssd.

All i need is the answer to my simple question if anyone can answer it without voicing an opinion that isnt based on facts.

I don't benchmark I have never and never will. Been building computers for what about 20yrs and build well 200 computers.

Used almost every hard drive out there. If I don't know anything about computers than I should go back to school.

Transfer rate raptor 10,000 is 200mb/s

Transfer rate on my SSD is right around 525 to 550mb/s

The last I check there was 28 pages on me on the internet. So if you need a expert opinion I must not be the guy.

Have a nice day and I hope that you get that expert answer.
