Main Rig SSD Upgrades

This is happening right now...

I got them from PNY's black Friday Deal... paid $39US.. to my door they were just over $65 ea... couldn't find anywhere that could beat that price so I jumped on them...

I have two very low end Toshiba's (in a RAID0) and I'm getting odd Crashed and blue screens... all the errors are pointing to nothing.. also in the last few months my speeds have also crashed...

MB only has SATAII, and the SSD's were rated at 520MB/S Read/Write. On initial install a few years ago I would get in the 500-550MB/s Read/Write in windows...

Today..



The read are well over double what I've been getting (testing near weekly) so that's a bit of surprise... the writes are down from the 75MB/s I was getting in AS SSD just last week.

I'll post up what I get after I image my OS over.. I'm expecting a speed bump with 4 of these in RAID0

Individual Drive Test;

All 4 drives saturated the SATAII ports as expected. They better have.. lol

Here are the results in RAID0

Will be running it in a 128K stripe. results are what I expected. I knew the intel OB Raid controller cant handle more than 2-3 SSD's before it saturates. it might get a little better once I remove the existing Toshiba Drive RAID0 config I have now and just have these 4 drives..

(right now I have 6 disks connected and 2 separate RAID0 arrays, but of a toll for an OB raid controller)



Would have a good bump if I had a SATA III controller... to get anything near worth while as a controller, I may as well upgrade the MB/CPU and then I'd get in the 1250MB/s-1750MB/s speeds with these 4 drives

Nice improvement there Vin.
You just need Sata 3.

Would be nice, just can't afford a CPU and MB and possibly Ram rights now.
