Hello
I just purchased an SSD (in the title). I was using a couple hard drives in raid 0 previously.
I used CrystalDisckMark to run a benchmark on my SSD. I am getting 228.3 sequential read and 81.96 sequential write. Is this normal? The write seems rather slow to me.
I also ran the same test on my RAID 0 drives and the results were: 219.6 sequential read and 213.4 sequential write.
Here's what I did today:
I installed the SSD into my computer, and cleared my old drives data and set them into raid 0. While leaving my SSD out of the array as a stand alone.
In the installation of Windows it did not detect my single SSD drive which I was going to install Windows 7 64 bit on, instead it only detected my array of RAID 0 hard drives.
I restarted and created a new array of drives as JBOD and included my SSD drive in it only. Now I have my single SSD alone in an JBOD configuration set as boot and my old hard drives in RAID 0.
I was able to select the JBOD with my SSD in it and install Windows successfully onto it.
So what I currently have setup is my single SSD drive in a JBOD set as boot. I have windows installed on this and plan to put my games on it also. I have my other drives in a RAID 0 which I plan to use for general storage.
Is the JBOD somehow hindering the speed of my new SSD?
Just a summary of info let me know if anything else is needed:
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
Motherboard 5N32-E SLI
Processor: Q6600 2.4ghz
SSD: Kingston SSDNow V100 SATA2 128GB
HDD: Western Digital 350GB 7200RPM *2
