New to SSD's Need help, take a look at my ATTO scores?

[aclypse]

Hello my name is Matt, I am new to SSD's and I would definately appreciate if some of you experts out there could take a look at my ATTO Benchmark scores and tell me if this is normal/good?

I have two Corsair Force GT SSD's (60GB) in Raid 0

I can post other specs if needed. I just didn't want to bombard you guys seeing as it is my first post!

That looks perfect for 2 of those drives in RAID-0. Enjoy!

edit, yes those are very nice numbers!

read that wrong at first, lol

me=jealous!

Thanks I still don't understand why the read/writes start off so low and then increase? I guess that's why I am so confused it's probably just a lack of understanding of the program.

Lol! I didn't catch whatever you said before the edit but that's not a problem. Thank you very much. I mean I dropped a decent amount of cash on them but I am not seeing the performance I expected. I had heard all of these mythical boot times of 7 seconds and stuff but for some reason right after it says starting windows and the windows logo comes up it boots to my desktop but I get a black screen for about 5-8 seconds before I can see my desktop/icons and use my computer at all...

Hmmm, 7 seconds isn't realistic. Unless you're only counting as of when you see the Windows loading screen and stop counting as soon as you SEE the desktop. I don't know about that black screen, I don't get any of that.

I thought you were only getting ~100MB/s, but you're actually getting ten times that. I was going to say how even my WD Black hard drive gets more than that. lol

A single SSD drive can get a bit over 500MB/s, which obliterates any standard hard drive even in RAID. You're actually getting double that which is awesome.

However, the RAID controller itself will usually add a little bit of boot time. Why not try booting up your computer, and as soon as you can use Windows, launch all kinds of programs simultaneously and see how long it takes for all of them to load. My guess is you will be blown away as to how much less time it takes compared to a normal drive!

Yeah you are probably right. I mean I guess I just have to be happy with what I have. It's not going to be perfect but the benchmarks are showing close to 1GB/s in read/write which is what I expected. All my programs and systems features load instantaneously so I can't complain there and all my games maps seem to load objects faster as I approach them which is what I really wanted. I almost see no load in my games, the entire map on Rift/BF3 seems to be loaded as I walk through it which is nice no more trees appearing as I walk into it lol.
