Samsung EVO and Rapid Start

Has anyone used two Evo"s In a raid 0 setup and with the rapid start option for evo drives set to on. If so do you no if it will work with a raid setup, because at the moment it can only be used on one evo drive and not multiple Evo drives in the system.

Yes I know

but it was showing in some of the benching with rapid mode on that it was maxing out the sata 6 bandwidth, I was thinking that if you raid 2 evo over 2 sata it would offer more bandwidth.

Well it looks like it will be a non starter until Samsung upgrade the software ( RAIDmode sets is not supported as an accelerated drive. Rapid Mode) I will just stick with a single Evo for OS with Rapid on.

What are you using the drives for?

I'd imagine two in RAID 0 would generally be faster...

Although frankly I don't think you'd be able to tell the difference between a single EVO, RAID 0 or RAPID mode...

:confused:

I only have the one Evo was thinking of getting a second but with Rapid only working on one drive, I would have liked to get it working on 2 Evo by using Raid0 but no joy it would seem.
