    Those speeds seem a bit low. When running 1 SSD i was getting faster speeds than that 270 read 255 write.. With my 2 drives in RAID0 I am currently getting 550mb read 520mb write speeds.
     
    I have 2 Mushkin Callisto 60gb.

    Core i7 920 D0 @ 4.2Ghz

    What settings did you choose for your raid, primarily block size?  I have seen  numbers close to these on high end (15K SAS) platter based drives.

    128k stripe, I've left it over night to see if GC would work. Didn't change anything. Maybe a different striping would work better? I looked at other benches and it looks really low actually. Disabled TRIM in Windows 7 as well as almost everything else. Should I disable my page file too?
     
    EDIT: Turned on WBC and got a bit better but still nothing close to what I see from other SSD's. Could it be how full it is? Or maybe these Vertex's just suck.

    If the SSD's are almost full that could definitly effect performance.  I wouldn't say the SSD's suck, although I have not used those myself.  Also, if you have had alot of installations/uninstallations done and/or this drive is used for your swap file, the you may want to enable TRIM if your card supports it, as when SSD's get filled up, especially with temp data, their performance can definitly be impacted.

    dont worry about crystal disk too much.
     
    Make sure you have Enabled write Cache . 2x in raid 0 would give you like 58- 59 usable in raid 0. Windows 7 would take a huge chunck of that out by default. YOu may want to Disable system restore and take out all the memory it is saving.  The fuller the drives the slower they are. meaning if you have used 10 gigs free or 7 gigs free that is the reason why your comp is slow. You could pick up another 2  and make it 120 gb raid and max out that controller and enjoy it =).  IF i had 2 i would try to have more than 10-15 gigs free at all times :P. But that's just me
     
    Here is a quick couple things to do ;P
     
    http://www.ocztechnologyf...Tweaks-amp-Utilities-*

    Only do the ones that would seem good to you. IE indexing, superfetch, write cache, system restore, hibernate, Defrag and a few others.
     
     
    DO not defrag these drives if you did not know . Disable it, turn it off, uninstall it ! anything! lol. The little link i gave you will tell you how to disable it permanently.
     
    Now before you do that all ... If you have windows 7 do this
     
    Open up Command Promt As administrator ( right click it open as admin)
     
    Type this in when Command prompt pops up and itll ive you your numbers
