Hi Guys
i have what i think is an issue with my drive's i have x2 Agility 3 60gb drives
i have the asus P7P55D-E mobo, originally i wanted to use these two drives in the 6gb/s Ports to raid them, but apparently i cant as i tried every bios setting there but the raid tool would not show up when i was using "Ctrl + i" at post, as soon as i put them into the lesser 3gb/s sata2 ports Bingo....it worked
thats my first question....does raid 0 work on SATA 6Gb/s ports??
settling for second best i thought id bash on and setup a raid on the SATA 3GB/s ports and set the stripe size to 128k....installed windows 7 quite fast i must say, however upon bechmarking it im not sure im getting the performance i should be for x2 drives rated around 500Mb read/write in a raid 0 setup
look at this link from OCUK thes guys are having the same performance if not better from x2 vertex 2 which is half the read/write speed??

the 3 screens below give my disk speeds ther are 3 screen as i upgraded RST drivers then enabled write back cache ( see red writing below each post)
Any Helpers??? im going mad....................
