HDD/SSD Drive Speed Thread

Yes, apparently my glaucoma is affecting my ability to see large, colored photos..LOL

No worries

I only lost a couple MB/s so I am not bothered. As the spoiler shows, I am running RAPID anyway.

Those are some low RAPID scores

Y'all cant handle the uber ram disk.

Shouldn't that be in the memory thread?

Can you somehow RAID 0 two ram disks together?

We shouldn't judge a man by the size of his Ram Disk... but its a cruel world.

Someone try a floppy disk.

Top is RAID. Bottom is the SSD.

The entire controller is set to RAID. Not just the array itself as I cant do that.

What motherboard do you have?

Sure, it's called dual channel
You can get higher scores on quad channel setups.

Ha, 5.25" or it doesn't count CDM probably doesn't have a test size that would actually fit on the disk.

Gigabyte Gaming 3 Z170

@spirit isnt the version F6?

It doesn't look like you can separate the ports on that board. On mine, you can set ports 0-4 to one setting and the rest to another or something similar, been a while since I've looked at it.

Originally it had an odd glitch where, on naming a volume, the BIOS would hang. That was the reason for my queries on the other thread, as this is a grey area for me.

The BIOS version is indeed F6 on your board, updating from F2 to F6 did change the way you make a RAID array IIRC (some options were moved around etc).

@SpriteMidr I've added your Seagate HDD RAID scores but your existing scores for the 850 Evo are faster than the ones you posted last so I haven't added your slower scores.

@Laquer Head I've added your 850 Pro RAID-0 scores.

Not the slowest hard drive we've had by a long shot.

Giving the laptop a go at this.
