Yes, sure did but it did not improve anything.

Went through all the different configurations .

Write-through with flush disabled seems to be the more consistent.

Least with raid1 you can delete the array and no harm is done but with raid0 you will lose the whole system.

I picked up the latest raptors for a great deal, almost 1/2 off last year, guess I should have bought 4 and just went with raid10.
Still rather surprised raid1 is this slow with a 10K drive.

Oddly it feels snappy, I can fire up browsers and there is no lag probably because of the high cache burst.

When you go from around 450 to only 150 in reads with crystal that is a huge impact but it should not be so.

My ROM is 12.6, would that make any difference at all? None of the newer bios for my board have any ROM updates, least not yet.

I can say though that crystal is not the most accurate, it can depend on when the cache hits which can give inflated numbers like the first.

As much as I'd love for a raptor to his SSD speeds that is just not theoretically possible.

Hello, I'm new here. My question is, my PC is booting really fast about 7 seconds from poweron to desktop. So if I install the Intel RST-Driver the boot take about 2 seconds longer. Is that normal? I installed the 64-Bit Version of the version 13.2.4.1000.

Thank you

My system: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 || Intel i7 4770K @4,4Ghz (geköpft @CLU) || Kühler (H2O): Corsair H110 @Push/Pull || Asus GTX780-DC2OC @1200/3300 || Corsair DIMM 16 GB DDR3-1600 || BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 10 550W || Samsung 840 EVO 250GB || Phanteks Enthoo Primo Big Tower || Windows 8.1 Pro Update 1

No this happens every time when I'm shutdown the PC and start the PC :)

This are my results: Benchmark

Beforce I used the MS AHCI driver from windows. And with this driver the boot is 2 seconds faster.
I installed only the driver no Intel RST-Software.

Did you install just the driver manually from within the Device Manager or did you run the installer of the Intel RST(e) Driver & Software Set?

How can I speedup the boot with the Intel RST?
I think the boot perfomance and others are faster with the Ms Ahci but the benchmarks are better with the Intel RST.

Edit: I installed the MS AHci driver now and the boot ist 2 seconds faster now (7seconds). What I'am also found out, that the shutdown with the Intel RST is faster than the Microsoft one.

My system is installed in UEFI-Mode with MSI Fastboot, Otherwise the system wont start from poweron with post screen in exactly 7 seconds to desktop.
