Well, if that does it for you then keep it up. I actually no longer even see the point of an SSD. The speed difference was not justified for the loss of space and high cost for me. I went back to a solid 2TB HDD. That works for me.

 
I actually plan on getting one or a few, depending on how much the price drops for them. But that'll be for the future (most likely a far one).

Huh, I think my legs get better bench results than your sata 2 ports only cuz i'm da boss and i said so! :P
 
On another not, Nice speeds guys :P of and gals :P

I do like the fact that SSDs have no moving parts, consume less energy, last longer, generally have less failures, have almost 0 access times, and give you CRAZY results in RAID configs.
 
Now, give them more storage room and slam the prices into the ground... I'd buy them without hesitation!

nice job on the R0 direraptor22

Mechanical HDDs will still see advancements, here's an idea that will fit 6TB on a single platter that used to only hold 1TB:

@Little Sister:  The point of this thread wasn't to make fun of HDD's vs SSD's.  The OP was simply pointing out a feat he got to.  It's his choice as not everyone can afford the same thing.  I'm open to new threads with different tests regardless if I have something better or not.  I'm not going to make fun of someone either way.

i made fun of no one and agree with op and understand his posts. you must have missed this. either way. the hdds in raid 0 are great results and both of use exchanged results. whats the issue here. another posts count member that has nothing better to do? lighten up. if you can go for ssds great if not the op's post is a great opion.

No, I didn't miss anything.  You in fact lol'd at this conversation in another thread.  Half your posts were ego boosts boasting about your SSD's in RAID blew his HDD's away.  Clearly unneeded.  Obviously, you missed that.  Another post count member? Like you should talk.

post mean nothing to me. thanks. speak with OP then. yeah i showed mine, hes showed his results, big deal. the mech hdds beat a single ssd on the sata 2 ports. we get it, so why the i dont understand or missed the thread point...lol
you and donata need to find someone else to mess with. yes also i did poke fun at this thread in another in reguards to donata rude post.

so the more spinner hd drives on RAID 0 the better it's performance it have? like if you mount 4 or 5 drives in RAID 0 the performance will still increase? 

now i am not going to hear those drive failures as this will post a very huge risk of data failures.  i just want to know if somebody have ever done with 4 or more drives on RAID 0 and have a SSD-like performance?  

many people have done this with multiple hhds for fast reads, but the access time will remain about the same. problem with multiple hhds, like 4 or more is you lose one you lose the data across all in raid 0. every mech hdd you add for performance which would be nice, the higher the failure rate. hhds are made better than they use to be IMO, but still a big chance as is everything.

i see.

so the access time remains the same and will pose for greater risk in data failure once you mount more drives on RAID 0.  hmmm...

what about in SSD in RAID 0? the chances of data failure and drive degredation be with?  does the SSD's in RAID 0 tends to degrade faster than those in single drives?

the acess times on mech hdds in raid 0 will improve for each drive added, but not by much and would never amount to the acess time of an ssd. the higher failure rate is just due to more drives that could go bad. they may never or they might, but if your running 5 hdds in raid 0 then your chance are x5 greater. ssd's dont fail that much. i have heard of a few failing but this was due to the board inside. there pretty solid and wont fail hense (solid state drive). i have ran intel x25-m's for over a year with no degration in raid 0 according to windows. i guess it can happen, especially since raid array will not allow for trim support yet. so far as the ssd's degrading faster in raid 0, i cant help you there, but i can say i have never seen degration nor slowing of my speeds. i keep everything pretty clean on my ssd's.

"especially since raid array will not allow for trim support yet."
 
Some OCZ Revodrive's support TRIM with RAID (as they come RAIDed out of the box) but that's totally a different category (PCI-E vs SATA).

The reason I put 3 HDDs in RAID 0 is because it'll be my OS drive, containing only Windows 7 and the games I play along with some software (antivirus, DVD burning software, other various software that I can easily reinstall)... know what I mean?
 
So even if a drive actually did fail and ruined my RAID config, I can get everything back up and running in no time. I store all my important stuff on a separate drive, and that's backed up to my server and external HDD as well.
 
Drama, please go away!
