What RAID controller do you use?
I take it incidentally that your Velociraptors are running as SATA II?

Nice!
I have never quite understood why RAID0 speeds on SATA II can be 400MB/s+ like you have achieved yet SSDs seem to max out SATA II at around 285MB/s?
Because of this SATA III is required to get the maximum out of the fastest SSDs e.g. C300?

I dont fully understand either, I knew 4 in a raid 0 format would be fast, but this result did surprise me.

Are you able to share some real world scenarios such as boot time decreases, game & app load times?
Have been toying with the idea to raid0 a more modest pair of F4s 320GB to see whether that would improve the above scenarios.

levels and apps load very quickly, I will have to time the boot but atm my gaming rig is U/S due to failing psu fan (currently rma/d) so i will post that when the pc is up and running again. It is definitely faster than my old 2 disk raid 0 array.
