Ah whats 20 min to instal an os every day. That way you keep a clean OS. lmao

Hmmm This install went a little smoother and the numbers show it. I think also the fact i cleaned the drives before the install. I had a few botched installs (cause i'm a nooob at RAID cards) on the i670 setup and i didn't do sanitary erase before the final sucessful one. The tests look good but i was expecting better on the quad. Then again high clocks mean nothing in the bench.

SSD's for 24/7 use ??

I love them
I have gotten so used to the speed of these bad boys that going back to HDD's is not an option for my 24/7 use.

I heard that ... another year or two and mechanical drives will be a thing of the past.

I still use them for storage but couldn't even think about an OS install on one anymore

SSD = WIN IMHO

Dude you should be puttin up some screaming PC05 with those. What controller are you using?

[karmakazi]

Nice scores guys! pcmark is a fav of mine, so tweakable in so many ways... Im old school though, I got I-rams

[GFDuke]

Maybe you could throw some pc05 tweaks our way?

Seriously looking at a Acard.

I just wanted to remark on a theory i have. Since i've installed my LSI RAID Card i have had no corruption issues at all because of crashes. I'm on my 5th install of RAID0 arrays since my purchase of the card only because of the want/need to switch OS's. But, in all of the installs i bsod'd, (too many times to count) i've never once lost my OS because of a hard crash. My thoery is that all the ruined RAID0 OS's that happend because of system crashes relate directly to the ICH10.
