Stupid question, but why has the write speed slowed down when using Sata 3? Or am i seeing things?
Just ran it on my Dell Inspiron 15R's Seagate 500GB 5400RPM drive.
Its actually not a bad drive, feels quite responsive and gets 5.8 in WEI. A friend of mine specifically asked dell for a 7200rpm drive and they gave him a Hitachi 7200rpm which only got 5.0 or something equally rubbish.
Since they bought IBMs HD business to make Hitachi drives, they have seriously gone down hill. IBM drives were always superb, fast and very quiet. Now they are slow and loud lol.
That's a pretty decent speed for a laptop.
This is Rig 1's results (i7 2600K, MIVE, 3x 640GB Western Digital RAID 0 128k stripe.
Here's rig 1 with it's new Corsair F3 240GB :D
Nice mate! Out of interest was there a particular reason why you went for the Corsair rather than the Vortex 3?
I'm looking at the new Mushkin Chronos deluxe 240GB - £369 - Maximum Read: 560MB/sec, Maximum Write: 520MB/sec, Random Write 4KB (Aligned): 90,000 IOPS, Controller: SandForce SF-2281, 3 Years Warranty. Not sure if anyone has heard anything about them? I had never heard of the company till i just bought some of their ram.
I went with the Corsair for a couple of reasons, I put a Corsair SSD in my Stepdad's laptop a while back and it has been rock solid, on the other hand a mate of mine has some OCZ's and he's had nothing but problems.
Then the read writes are within 10 -20 mb of each other which is what I wanted.
Also I like Corsair in general and see my sig, an OCZ SSD would have looked aweful in amongst all those Asus and Corsair parts hehe
I haven't heard anything about the Mushkin, but from what I have been reading OWC SSD's are getting some good reviews
This is the Western Digital Black 1 TB Sata 3 (6GB/s)
I'm running my Agility 3 in SataII mode so half performance. will get a new Sata 3 controller soon. anyone recommend one whic will allow max speed of my SSD and is bootable + cheap

Nice mate :up:
I used a Highpoint RocketRAID 620 SATA 6Gb/s controller in Marks (Page 1), I haven't seen any Adaptec SATA 3 cards yet.
I thought I would re-run ATTO on my Corsair Force 3 240GB to see if there was any difference....
I reinstalled Windows on my Q9400 rig so I thought I would run ATTO again.
