Nice.

Your speeds are basically a bit behind mine in every area though...what are you using for chipset, the X48 on the DFI?
AHCI on or off?

I don't run AHCI on, i run it off, & for my testing, i've been using the ICH9R ports (not the JMicron, except for my WD 1 TB).

Just trying to determine why my scores are measurable higher in the min/ave/max numbers?

Edit: shit no, your burst score is insane...guess that's not on ICH9R. :Q

These are configured as passthrough disks on ARC1680-ix-24 SAS host with 2GB ECC cache. I have a program that can measure the real burst speed and it's around 3GB/S! It takes a 4GB module but my broker has not found one as of yet. :(

Speed no matter really these are for scratching.

Those look like some impressive numbers Rhoxed. I was going to run the same configuration for video editing but changed my mind to running 2 separate drives, one for raw footage and one for the edited footage, just to lessen the possibility of a total crippling failure. Those drives are fast enough on their own, but your results have me reconsidering the RAID.

What controller were you using for that array?

Rhoxed those numbers look good, specially for a 2 drive RAID0. but lookin at that burst rate. . . is it normal to have burst rate lower than the average in RAID0?
