4 drive RAID 0

[SiM]

lol, I have faster burst speed though

That array is overkill for everything! Its only 80GB big too so too small to be useful too!

Read speed is impressive though...

Are there any other tests I can do before moving to RAID 5?

Do you have Write-Back Cache enabled in the Matrix Storage Manager.

Good call, I didn't have that enabled either! SIMs sequential read speed still doubles mine, but check out the burst speed Not sure what causes it, but it's consistant.

Short test:

Other one was long test...

Not really its just checks & tests of the RAID...but you could run SiSoftware Sandra as another benchmark.

Looks like the controller is just dumping its cache to get speeds like that.

Well I suppose I can time how long it takes Windows/game levels to load etc. The only game I have installed is CoD4.

I'll try the SiSoft Benchmark too
