Hello Everyone,
Long time listener, first time caller.
I had an Intel machine setup with 2 Intel 320 80GB SSDs in RAID 0. Life was good, performance was fantastic. WEI score 7.9 on the drive measure.
Now I upgrade to new platform with AMD etc and based off my research many folks were saying no point or performance gains for doing the SSD RAID 0. So I installed the OS without RAID onto a single Intel 320 80GB SSD. WEI score 7.2 on the drive measure.
My question is should I care what WEI says here or did I really take a step back in drive performance. It's early enough that I can still wipe the machine and re-RAID the SSD's to get my theoretical performance back without losing anything except a little time.
Thank you in advance and I really must say these forums are a go to for my tech questions and issues!
