Hey all!
I just wanted to chime in on these SSD'S, before this I was running a single OCZ SataII witch was long in the tooth. ATTO on the OCZ said it was doing a good job about 450 MB Per Sec. on a good day (reads) writes fell of at around 200 MB.

So when I got my 2011 socket MB the OCZ didn't want to play nice with it, so shopping I went. I did not purchase another OCZ as they discontinued the one I had for (lack of a better word) junk. So I was not gonna buy another product of there's so I could not pair it up, my money tree is very small at the moment so I had to make a decision witch to get and had to get two of them ASAP.

I saw some good feedback with these Intel Cherryhill SATA III SSD'S 520 series.

I have not had a riad O in a while as I always was losing it on them damn Gig-A-Crap MB'S. I'm getting 10,000 MB per cycle both ways now in a raid O with these and couldn't be happier! :thumbsup:
I'll post the ATTO scores latter as there on my other rig, in the MAN CAVE!! :ohcrap:

My OCZ score on its best day very cold

Yeah! I couldn't be happier!!! :laughing: At the same price as the single Sata II OCZ hard drive I did well...............
Here's the intel ATTO score's keep in mind the OCZ was clocked as high as I could go on that set up, this is STOCK on the 2011 board. Still waiting for two more 7970 to unleash da furry.:thumbsup:

Will do Duke, you want it over clocked or no? May I ask why that is so significant?

here you go Duke,
Keep in mind the first posting was a OCZ Sata II in ACHI mode over clocked, this is as you requested at a queue of 8 default settings. I think there was 30 processes in the back ground running.

this is in raid O with the block size set to 64.

You have to register at ATTO to DL it.

Vertex 4 is the new Indilinx controller that OCZ bought.

Back to philly... How do you "overclock" an SSD? an OCZ Vertex 2 peaks at 290 MBps reads and 270ish writes, so not sure how you were getting SATA3 speeds out of it, unless you were referring to a Vertex 3 drive..

A secure erase should bring it back to like new conditions BTW.

Most down loads are here(over clocking atleast) not sure they have ATTO. also Majorgeeks.com has a ton of software down loads MD.

For GPU BIOSES its MVKtech

@Neuromancer Sorry,
not the SSD over clocked but the system, my bad I had a few in me.
