Samsung Spinpoint F3 1Tb Raid 0 Problem?

IdiotCoder · 9 Jun 2011 at 17:51

Hi,

I recently built my first PC, and put in two Samsung Spinpoint F3's (1Tb) in Raid 0.

After running HD Tune to check the read speeds I got a little worried.

Here is the results:

Are those low spikes normal?!

Also the burst rate seems HUGE.
The first couple of times I ran this it wasn't so big!

Anyway, does this seem like a normal result to everyone? Hope I didn't mess something up when setting the drives into Raid 0! =/

Thanks in advance!!

Nobody have any thoughts on this then?

You have your OS on the array I assume so spikes are normal as HDTune isn't the only thing using the disk, high burst is normal too.

Spikes are normal, I get them without RAID0 - nice max speed, my F3 alone gets -143Mbps max
-average 112.5Mbps
-16ms access time
-173.2Mbps Burst

Try going to the options are moving it to are more accurate test for better results ( does take longer)
