Great thanks for your advice - I'm currently using a 1TB Samsung and it has performed well - maybe the 2TB one will be the way forward for me. I guess I could just get another 1TB one - but I'd rather just run one drive for storage so there is less heat and power consumption.

Let's hope that a pass-thru command is implemented in upcoming RAID drivers that allows us RAID users to TRIM our arrays with Wiper tool.
If a self-trimming FW was introduced that would be a great selling feature for the Vertex.
These drives provide impressive performance from new but the...
The only thing I can think then is the degredation in performance is due to constant writes to the SSD.
What I have done is used Procmon to find out what is writing a lot to my SSD drives and have moved these files onto another mechanical drive.
I found that Firefox was the main culprit for...
Yeah for a RAID 0 setup with two drives you should be getting something similar to mine in performance.
Something is wrong here, have you installed the latest chipset drivers, Intel Matrix Storage Console and enabled volume write-back caching?

I too used the "Wipe Free Space" option in CCleaner on my Vertex RAID and it absolutely killed my read and write speeds. However I have read that this works quite well for the OCZ V2 series.
You will need to follow "The Halk's" advice to restore full performance, this is similar to what I had...
Yes - it worked fine for me, but it's up to you if you want to take the risk or not. If you want to play it safe, backup your RAID to a spare drive before you try it!! I haven't heard of anyone loosing any data yet. You can only do this with the new 1.3 FW
Just change BIOS SATA settings to...
I have completed this update to my two drives and it is so easy to do - none of my data was destroyed and it took only a couple of minutes.
The drives are not completely re-flashed only a small section of the firmware is overwritten.
You just need to download the new firmware and extract...
Hi FaceplantSi,
I agree with you that it is a very long process to do and some may not want to bother with all the effort. I only really had to do this because I messed up my drives by running "Wipe free space" option on CCleaner. After stupidly trying this my writes went down to about...
Thanks for the tips!
I messed up my speeds though coz I stupidly ran the "Wipe free space" option on CCleaner out of curiosity and it doesn't work for Vertex drives, so don't try it!
Anyway I have recovered the situation and in doing so have a tip to squeeze that little bit more out of your...
Thanks for your comments...I decided to just get two of the 30GB Vertex drives in the end. I've got them working in Raid 0 and I've installed Windows 7 RC Build 7100.
I am getting these results...are they any good?
Are there any more tricks/tweaks I can implement to improve even...
Hi,
I am thinking of getting 3 of these awesome drives in RAID 0, I have read they max out the ICH10 raid controller.
I'm using an Abit P35 Pro XE with ICH9R controller. I was wondering whether I would get the same sort of performance as on a board with ICH10 controller or whether I...
thinking of getting these - are they any good?

Hi,
I've managed to do my first overclock on a Q6600, I can't seem to go any higher than this though prime stable. Any ideas?? Is it the ram holding me back?
Also managed to clock up my 9800gt to 720MHz - should I try for more or is this a good o/c?
My temps seem really good on the CPU - I am...
I am looking to buy some 5.1 speakers for my PC, can you guys recommend the best speakers for around £60?
Thanks,
