Those drives must fly man. Are you using a controller or on board?

Yes I am using a ARC-1231ML.

Bandwidth is in the range of 950mb/s when going full out. It's a very good Raid but getting beat up these days by the newer drives. They can achive the same bandwidth with about half the drives now.

I read somewhere that SSDs shoud not be defragged, and that windows scheduled defrag should be disabled. By defragging they will get slower and slower. Was this old news for the very first SSDs, or is this relevant to all SSDs?

That's the word I heard. Now whether there is any truth to this I dunno. Guess I need to do some research.
