Vertex3 on SATA2 (200MB/S)
Last response: in Storage
Bought a used Vertex3 from Amazon.com listed as 'Like New'. I paid $123...

No real issues yet... have a partition created + aligned... Copied over my Windows 7 installation and after finally resetting my boot configuration I got into Windows... WEI is 7.6 for Disk (7.4 overall, CPU i5 750 OC'd to 3.8 Ghz is only a 7.4?)
My motherboard only has a SATA2 controller but my HD Tune scores seem low I think... not sure. I noticed that my startup time increased after I enabled the RAID controller and plugged my two old hard drives into it and created a RAID 0 array. My main controller (that the SSD is hooked to) is AHCI, not IDE.

I have determined that TRIM is enabled. I've disabled any auto defrag (there was't one), disabled indexing as well. Anything else I should do?
Here is the RAID0 HDTune on two pretty cheap Seagate 320GB drives...
