Hi

The thing is your RAID is probably not slow at all but is being reported by WEI as 5.9 the same as any other hard dsik drive would. Without installing a SSD you will never break the 5.9 barrier. WEI is a total waste of time as far as benchmarking goes.

Besides that your Marvell controller will not work at SATA3  speeds anyway so you are limited to SATA2 whatever drive you install.

hi,

my friend system configuration
Motherboard GA-X48-DQ6
Q6600
Seagate 2 x 1tb raid 0
Windows 7 X64 disk score 6.3

I would like to see that. I have never seen a WEI score of more than 5.9 for a magnetic hard drive. Maybe he's having you on ? 

I have two Western Digital Black SATA3 hard drives in RAID0 array  and still only get 5.9

Thanks for that but are you trying to tell me he has two 100GB spinning disk drives that he is using in a RAID0 array ?

If so what make an model are they ?
