Is it possible to get any more performance from these?

[mythrandyr]

hi guys,

I've just finished upgrading my SSD's. What i have installed at the moment is 4 patriot warp 32GB SSD's, 1 Samsung 64GB SSD and 1 Samsung 128GB SSD.

The Atto Benchmark for the 4 Patriot Warp drives (with 128K stripe and all windows vista regsitry tweaks applied) is as follows:

Is their any way that i can further enhance the performance of these drives without having to replace the 64GB samsung drive (which i don't want to do as i don't particularly wan't to have to rely on raid)? Or would it be possible to further improve performance by raiding the 64GB drive with the 32GB drives? I know that i would lose 32GB storage but hey, we all have to make sacrifices.

cheers,

Myth.

Try altering the stripe sizes and see what happens?

i'll give that a go soon when i have to re-instal vista, i never thought of that to be honest but the age old question on OCUk seem's to be what stripe size is best? (i am currently using 128K if i remember right but my guess is that i would only see a marginal, hardly noticable, increase in speed/performance)

Might it be also worth investing in a hardware raid controller instead of using the motherboard's raid?
