I did a benchmark on my 2 36.7gb raptors running raid0.
I have two partitions of approx equal size for running two OS's. Could the partition affect the speed of my drives.
Here is a benchmark for C drive, which I use 95 percent of the time.

Performance Tips
Notice 5008 : To change benchmarks, click Options.
Notice 5004 : Synthetic benchmark. May not tally with 'real-life' performance.
Notice 5006 : Only compare the results with ones obtained using the same version!
Notice 5209 : Consider using the Removable Storage/Flash Benchmark for Flash devices.
Tip 5202 : Use cache on to measure Windows performance.
Tip 2 : Double-click tip or press Enter while a tip is selected for more information about the tip.
This is one for D drive that I ran imediately after the C drive test.
