HDD RAID and HDD Variation

Tests were never ran simultaneously.
Drives were zeroed before being tested.

They seem to all be using the same firmware. And what's more, it does not appear there are other versions for these drives.

I know my controller is terrible, and thus you will see that more drives is not always better.
All 6 ports on my board are SATA 3. They all use the same controller.

Comments?

interesting data.

I was surprised no more scaling really after 2 drives in raid 0.

I was using 2 rives on raid 0 before i upgraded to my SSD gen1 Agility, it made a big difference but not as huge as i expected but way better than just running off 1 drive like I do at my lab in my university
