Just the standard benchmark test on CrystalDiskMark (which would be on the same settings if you have just installed it), I prefer not to mess around with settings too much.
Question though, is there really a secret to how you pulled those benchmarks with CrystalDiskMark? It is just that I would like to make my SSDs run at those insane speeds of 500MB+ too.

Because I was a noob who was unaware of how crap the Marvell Raid Controller and to be honest I was completely unaware that there was another SATA 2 controller which would give me better performance. I guess it will take a while before the whole SATA 3 controller will become something that is worth using.

as for the firmware update, you'll need the drives to not be in a RAID array to do that. try using another PC, may be easier.

Thanks for confirming that for me, I guess I will put those SSDs in a different rig (with the system running from it's own HDD instead of the SSDs of course) and update them using the firmware tool from OCZ's website.
