    Default wicked hard drive performance

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148441

    I bought two of these and have them in a raid-0 on my Z68 motherboard ( the two 6Gb/s ports )

    HDTUNE says I get a consistent 1GB/s read rate.

    it is nothing short of amazing.

    Have you experienced any audio stuttering with the drives being raid 0?

    Not while playing any game, I don't use this particular PC for anything like iTunes.
    The drives are SSD and have zero seek times so
    I would think an audio stutter off a drive that does 1GB/s
    would have to be a serious drive problem requiring me RMA them.

    I have no experience with crucial, but after 4 drives failing on me I won't use anything but Intel. They are so damn reliable and I will sacrifice some speed for that. Although the 510 is still pretty fast.

    FWIW, I have a Crucial SSD (wow) and an OCZ SSD (boot). Never had a problem with Crucial, but OCZ drive died within a week. Replacement has been fine though.

    Every time I've tried to use a single SSD on a laptop I haven't had much success and I've seen lockups for a few seconds.

    I've use some Intel SSDs on a caching raid controller and I've never seen locks.
    I have NEVER had good success with OCZ whether it was SSD or memory chips, I refuse to buy them.
    I always use Crucial main memory so hopefully they make a good SSD, too early to tell right now, So far no problems.

    Yeah, well I have a ramdisk, so....HDtune says speeds of 7-8GB/s.

    My Patriot SSD rocks, but was not large enough for OS + Gaming Folder.

    I'm using an OCZ Vertex 3 (150GB), as my OS folder.
    The first drive failed within a week or so, but I had the instant-product-replacement option from my computer store (Memory Express); next day, brand new same drive with all my data copied over.
    The replacement has been good for a couple of months now.

    Not getting 7GB/sec or even the 1GB/sec, but I'm on my desktop and ready to go 25 seconds after pushing the power button.
