6Gb/s Run's slow!!

Why is this Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB running the same read and wright speed as my Samsung SpinPoint F3? which is only 3Gb/s

I thought it would be higher once connected up to the sata 6Gb/s.

Is there any reason for this ?
It's on a Asus Rampage III Extreme

Cheers

Thanks for that info.
I'm now running f3 in raid0 and get 202.8/ 192.2
So even with that board, would i get the 500 speeds via SATA 6Gb/s

Stop faffin around with RAID0 and trying to get high sequential speed which in all fairness is pointless.

Get yourself an SSD with high random read and writes and leave this sordid episode of your life behind.

If my board had the Intel SATA ports then i think i would, but as Surveyor says, the Marvell 9128 controller are crap

so i wont get the higher speeds!

So i guess no Intel X58 (Socket 1366 has the SATA ports ?
