Im having a problem with my phoenix ssd, raid 0 performance seem to be lesser than its single drive counterpart. And viewing benchmark of other raid 0 ssd seem to be way better than the performance im currently seeing through HD Tune benchmark.
Im not particularly sure what im doing wrong, or if its because of my motherboard sata controller, or my partition alignment.
System stat
Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 motherboard
AMD Phenom II 1090T cpu
2 x G.Skill Phoenix 60gb ssd
(Raid 0, 128kb Stripe) connected to the southbridge AMD SB850 controller
Raid 0 - Read Random Access
Single Phoenix 60gb - Read Random Access on Gskill site
Raid 0 - Read Benchmark - 64kb Block size
Single Phoenix 60gb - Read Benchmark (From G.skill site, 64kb block size i think)
As you can see the read performance of Raid 0 is fluctuating and not as smooth as its single drive counterpart. In some cases the read min, and burst rate is much slower also. So yeh what am i doing wrong? Both drive are on 2.1 firmware, all driver are updated to latest version. Bios version is also the latest. Partition alignment is 1024kb
