I give you my brand new Revodrive X2 running on Sandybridge

Whats the most important rating (4k, 4k64-thrd, or iops) In terms of gauging how fast the responsiveness of the drive will be in every day tasks (loading games, opening spreadsheets n other office progs)

Have they sorted out the TRIM issue on these Revodrives yet? I.E. There wasn't any TRIM functionality when they 1st came out as they are RAID'ed on the board.

"By utilising the Silicon Image RAID controller, the RevoDrive isn't able to offer support for Windows 7's TRIM command"

So it's hoping the SandForce controllers are up to the job of doing it......

Crucial C300 128GB with firmware 7. No prep for bench.

c300 64gb

Hmmm,

Never done an AS bench on my C300 until now... Got some odd results >>

as-ssd-bench%20C300-CTFDDAC064M%2002.05.2011%2017-30-17.png

It's installed on an Asus P7P55D-E on the Marvell SATA III controller.

Anyone got any ideas?

Tried another cable... that's not the issue, unless both cables are duff...

HD Pro (which is what I used to bench it when I first installed gives me figures of about 320 MB/s (max) 150MB/s min for read.

bad edit

Here my scores. I dont have a clue what any of it means though :confused:

Can anyone explain what it's all about?

Snykch · 3 May 2011 at 16:36

The webpage in the OP explains it all and has a link to some typical results.

Compare you results with those, and the results of others posted on here to find out if your SSD is running as expected. In your case I'd say yes, pretty much as expected.

New crucial M4 64gb model

Lets resurrect this thread as I found an old SSD bench photo. This was 3 x 60GB Corsair Force GT drives in 0:

Sorry if there is a better thread for this now. If not lets get some new posts here! Going to get a more recent one up soon.

Kaapstad · 5 May 2013 at 03:47

My SSD I have been using for the last year, it's never seen a trim command.

parvumsystems · 6 May 2013 at 10:57

Revo drive is a little beast indeed!

3 x IBIS 240GB drives

Had to remove the 4th drive due to installing the 7970 Matrix (3 slot cooler). Titan on its way (2 slot cooler) and the 4th IBIS will be installed and added to the array once again.

My New system vs old system. Not a fair comparison as the new system only has 3 drives vs the old system 4 drives. I have noticed that from going from the i7 920 to the i7 3930k a speed difference in benchmarks only.

VS

Awesome results. My last controller was an LSI 9260-8i, sadly I didn't have it for long enough to get 8 SSDs. I've not read much about the IBIS drives but am seeing some impressive results. Do you require a PCIe slot per drive?

Yes, the drive comes with a single port HSDL adaptor that fits into a PCI-E slot.

You can buy a four port HSDL adaptor card. Which I did, but I found it was very motherboard reliant. I had problems with the PCI-E going into a low power state mode. Great for graphic cards, but it knocks the drives offline.

So as soon as the titan arrives, I can plug the fourth single port HSDL adaptor into the then accessible PCI-E slot as there will not be a block of metal in the way

Points to note. The IBIS drives are not bootable. You can only windows RAID. They have very limited support being end of line.

They are however better value at EOL costs of £250 a drive (if you can find them). So 940GB is very close to the Revodrive (4x240GB vs 940GBRevo) in terms of cost, but you get more performance with the 4xIBIS.

Yeah pretty good points. The performance looks great. The small amount I have read they seem to pull a bit on the CPU? But to be honest if you can afford 4 of these SSDs then you should have a pretty beasty CPU thus not really being effected.

Personally feel its a huge step made but its defiantly somewhat software/fake raid rather than true raid?

I'm seeing what I can do as far as SSDs go but have a nice Areca ARC-1882i to play with soon so I'll be sure to report here.

Thats a pair of Kingston HyperX 240Gb SSD's on a UD5H in RAID0

parvumsystems · 7 May 2013 at 17:26

Impressive

Always nice on Raid 0. Hows your experience been with Kingston SSDs? I've not used them before my self.
