My Samsung SAMSUNG HD103SJ F3 RAID 0 2TB Array (about to be retired from RAID duty)

I get sentimental when I retire some of my computer components. After many dedicated years of tireless service without fault or fail. These F3's will be relegated to backup single HDD status as a storage drive. Here is what my performance data shows after benchmarking. I think I got these in 2009 when they first came out. I had the Samsung F1's in a RAID 0 before and those are still working as well to this day.
