3x SSD's in 2008 MP advice on setup please

[flatfoot]

Am I wrong to expect more considering that these OWC SSD's are supposed to each do ~270+ MB's read and write? I was hoping for 440+

XBench is usually said to be, how shall I put it... not a good benchmarking program. For disk performance, try AJA System Test

Ok thanks, I'll try that later tonight.

I'm pretty happy with these results. One screenshot is of my raid0 1TB F1's, and the other of my raid0 SSD's (not sure what settings to use within the AJA utility - I'm open to suggestions)

That looks kinda nice.

I think the video setting at the bottom left doesn't matter since you only want to know about disk performance in general and not for certain video editing purposes.

Just so you feel even better: Attached are the results for my 74GB Raptor (10,000rpm, boot) and my 3 x 2TB Hitachi (32MB cache, 7,200rpm) RAID0. I'm about to replace the Raptor with an OCZ Vertex 2 60GB.

Thanks!

Now my next trick is to get my home folder moved to my F1's so that I can actually start using these screamers!
