Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.1 x64.
Almost 900 MB/s sequential read when configured in RAID 0. This is without enabling compressible data either which will increase the scores significantly.
As we do with all our SSD reviews, we enable ‘compressible’ data mode, called ’0×00′. The performance gains are as we would expect with a Sandforce controller, with sequential read performance increasing to 956.7 MB/s read and 938.5 MB/s write.
Above, some compares with other leading solid state drives which we have reviewed in the last couple of months.
Id be happy if I could afford one of these, never mind two. nice performance. im off to cry in a corner.
Work well in RAID 0, but £800 was more than my last system cost. still we can dream, right?
These are amazing SSD drives provided by intel.
Check it out on amazon!

You missed a huge performance gain by not installing an intel rst version.
rapid storage technology gives a boost to the low/mid size file transfer rates which really makes a windows based operating system fly.
always only use the rst version from the boards download page along w/ being on the latest bios.
one little glitch to know about; most times write back cache is disabled by default.
open rst/click volume icon/toggle write back cache on/off/on.
re-run the atto bench and look for the big performance gain.
