Samsung 840 Pro RAID 0 Benchmarks

[smarshallsay]

Here's some benchmarks of these drives in RAID 0 purely for informative purposes. I compare them to my older drives for reference.

I bought a couple of Samsung 840 Pro drives and have them in Intel RAID 0 on my Gigabyte Z68X-UD3P-B3. Fresh install of Windows 8 with latest drivers.

I stopped using my Raid 0 SSD set up but nice scores.

That is some nice scores for the 840 I've got two ocz vectors in raid 0 but not tested yet
