The physical read / write limitations of the hdd.
Switch to a SSD and it will be bunches faster.

For example, SSD on the left, regular 7,200 RPM HD on the right. Both drives in the same desktop, (some details below):

Wow SpywareDr.

The physical read / write limitations of the hdd.
Switch to a SSD and it will be bunches faster. Much more spendy too.

I do have SSD on mine too but no where at the speed that SpywareDr has it.

I bought mine about 3 years ago and set it on RAID0.

Result is only descent unless I am setting up something incorrectly.

BTW... I am running out of space to upload images on here. How do I delete previous images?

Thanks

Its weird. If I set CrystalMark at 1000mb, instead of 100mb like I did, the sequential read jumps to 395mb.

Does RAID0 has any benefits on my SSD or is it that my SSD is an older generation?

Did you RAID or just single?

[SpywareDr]

Single.

Are you saying yours is bigger than mine?

Thanks for your help on this SpywareDr. You and Train answered lots of my questions in the last few days. Actually, always. I haven't seen nick on here for a while.

I am going to see if I can answer a few posts myself.

Thought I'd add my Crucial m4 128GB SSD results too ,the more results for cross reference the better.

Wow! That is just single, not RAID? Any BIOS setting done?

Thank you for sharing.

Single ,no raid ,relatively new build/install ,so I'm not sure if those speeds will keep up.No special BIOS settings,but the Motherboard natively supports SATAIII.

Nice.

That is so wrong to dangle that infront of us guys who can only achieve 250mb. But then again, I am not sure if I would spend that kind of money on just a SSD.

A 120 GB SSD will do fine as C: drive for most of us.
And not have the worries of the old Raid 0 disappearing on us.

Originally wanted Mellenium Falcon as nick but there is character limitation.
Falcon Speed = Mellenium Falcon = Light Speed

OH crap! All this time, I have been calling myself something else. Hahaha!

Thanks for pointing that out. No wonder all these years, my ex-fiancee was looking at me weird!
