today i upgraded to Windows 8.1
i noticed a performance drop of about 6% (AS SSD)
some has to be contributed not doing a secure erase + clean install
i was wondering what others had experienced.

cheers,
Jerome.

Trim on raid-0 works fine on Windows 8.1 with Z68 chipset.

i only tested with modded raid orom (the last version you published for Z68)

New personal benchmark record after installing IRST drivers 12.7.1.1000 on Windows 8.1 Preview (4x Force GT 120Gb on sata-2):

Hello Jerome,

you are right and I made the same experience with Win8.1 (which I like very much).
Nevertheless we all should keep in mind, that the currently available Win8.1 version is a "Preview" and not a final product.
I am pretty sure, that the RTM version of the OS will have a better performance.

Regards
Fernando

Today i ordered an Haswell upgrade to my system:
Asus maximus vi formula.
So my 4 windows system ssd's will run on sata3 ports instead of sata2.
Can't wait to run as ssd benchmark lol.
Cheers Jerome.

Not that I would ever install a Micro confidential, but just say I installed the 8.1 9471.

The winsat return was nice, about the same read but went from a 302MB write to a 522.


Windows is installing the intel 12.0.1.1015 for the RST driver. Optimize still showing raid as a HDD until winsat is run, then you see SSD.

Still no TRIM. But GC is kicking in within a hour and giving the trim test to return trim working.
