dirtydog I am wondering how you seem to have an average read speed from 1 drive at 170MB/s. I have been told the average read from 1 drive is only 90MB/s
It seems like only 2 drives in RAID can give you 170MB/s :S
I got one of these today and have just done a couple of quick benchmarks in Windows XP. My motherboard is a G31 chipset with ICH7 southbridge.
Oddly the drive was already formatted to NTFS. I am a bit sceptical that the drive can be new when it is already formatted, because surely it doesn't come from the factory like that?
GRiDlock said:I get 150MBsec AVG according to HDTune 2.55. Peak is 170MBsec, Min was 85MBsec. Windows7 clean installation.
If you bench one after installing an OS on it you'll get even weirder readings as a 1/3rd will be at the normal speed while the other 2/3rds will be double so you get a big fluctuation between peak and min when it should only be about 2-3% on an SSD.
Reading this thread doesn't HD tune give out iffy results with SSD's?
Do you have photoshop on your PC,if yes how fast does it load?
cheers
I wish I had queried the new drive to see what its offset was set to by default
Perhaps someone else who hasn't altered their drive's offset, and whose drive was pre-formatted could do that?

What offset did you use dirtydog?
Does any modern mobo work with these? ie. Abit ip35 pro?
yes , they do , thats what i am running mine on
