UD3R REV 2.0 + RAID 0 (SATA 3)

[Dark Mantis]

Some seem to give better and more reliable results for one type of drive like SSDs compared to another that might be better for magnetic drives for instance.

[Tinker]

May I just ask which benchmark software and settings you used to obtain those results.  They're the kind of speeds that I'm after!!

Using ATTO, AHCI, ram set at 1333 at present though will run at 1600. OCZ Vertex 3 max iops 120gb. Should get a bit
more speed once fully set up ( I hope ! ) Pity I can't use raid but not suitable for swopping drives. Rest of bios is at stock.
Downside of AHCI + LSI card is slow boot up time.

Thanks, Tinker.

Is it possible to just put up a screenshot of the ATTO setup do that I can compare with mine.

Thanks.

Every time you install an add on card or a similar piece of hardware the boot time seems to increase. That is the downside to all these performance tricks. What you have to keep in sight though is that it probably only happens once a day so does a few more seconds really make that much difference when you machine will be running faster all the time.

At present am on Win update & MOBO is mocked up on Desktop. Will try & add later. To give you a rough
idea on Marvell PCIe card with ATTO just under 300mb/s read & 425mb/s write so a strong improvement
on write with LSI card. I also found with Marvell chip better off without driver, just plug n play.

Hi derekc, 1st try no tweaks.

Thanks for reply.

I just had to test how the ICH10R would stack up against the Marvell 9128 SATA III on-board controller, and the RocketRAID 640 addon-card SATA III controller ...


This is what the onboard ICH10R could do with the two Intel 510 120 GB SSD's ...

.

Funny s***! :-) Compare it to the other charts.

Anyway, the RocketRaid gives a nice 180 MB/s read-increase over the onboard ICH10R. So overall I'm happy with my investment, and I'm glad for your help and tips!

How odd is this, just tested Corsair Force 3 120gb as Slave ( a cheaper one for another PC ) Master OCZ Vertex 3 max iops 120gb.
Well that was a blunder !!! Drive letter changed. Hope you can't format Ram ? !! Picture removed, you were correct Allan, quite a fast
Ramdisk pity drives don't run as fast.

  Tinker!

  double check your drive letter!..... I think you just benched your Memory (Ramdisk).....your writes averaged out to 1521Mb/s which fits the memory speeds

Hi KyrreS

Pretty much what I would have expected from the ICH10R controller and opposed to the Marvell 9128 it shows one reason why we advise it's use.

Having fun with Ramdisks boys ?
