I just built a Monster Sandy Bridge "Beast" Rig....I wanted to run a OCZ Revodrive X2 240, but apparently because of OCZ and/or ASUS compatability issues the drive will only run at about half speed....each company is pointing the finger the other way....Here is a screenshot of the RevoDrive X2 Atto...

So....I removed the Revodrive and used four (4) 64GB Micro Center branded Sandforce drives (only 99 bucks!) They are actually rebadged Adata S599 drives...I updated the firmware to the latest offered by Adata and fired them up in a 4x Raid-0 on the Intel controller...

Wow!! Very impressed....I think I maxed out the Intel Controller....;)

Wow, those are crazy numbers. And you say that is on the stock P67 RAID controller? I am also surprised to see the write numbers outpace the reads.

great numbers!

I'm assuming you have the Sata III (6.0Gbps) connectors on the Maximus IV Extreme MoBo?

Also, how come you haven't OC'd the CPU (2600K) yet? Get that thing up to 4.5+GHz and let it rip!

biggest secret i have to say is so far the microcenter G2 is the only stable SF-12xx drive there is. i use them in two macbook and a pc.

my callisto deluxe - not so hot - cold sleep issues. one must love having to cold start your box 5-25 times to get it to boot. lol.

Microcenter G2 w/3.4.6 = the only sandforce SF-12xx solution i'd advise anyone buy at this time.

Actually....I am on the four Sata 2 connectors...so far no sign of the faulty chipset bug...

Oh...I have overclocked the 2600K! running very stable at 5.1 Ghz. I will be posting a thread in the watercooling forum with a bunch of CPU benchmarks and benchmarks with the three GTX 580's!!
