kenkickr, where did you get your avatar?
 
google.com. Just do a search for "Cubs pictures". This isn't your g/f is it!?
 
I wish. Image search or standard?
 
Image search. You want this one? I found something better!!!:D
 
Nah, I was just looking for more detail ;)

@_JM our graphs are pretty identical :)
 
OK here's a test run with 2 WD 500AAKS in ASUS Speeding HDD mode

Not bad at all, and not only I am getting the same or better performance as a RAID config, but instead of combining the 2 as a 500gb drive (raid 0) they are combined into 1TB of storage! I may actually keep them set-up like this. ASUS really shines on this one, good job ASUS! :D
 
Sustained speed is awesome.
Is your boot time faster with the V-raptor or this Raid setup?
 
actually, Im using the VR as my boot drive and the 2 others for storage. I was going to install my OS on the 2 drives u see above but I was recommended that you need 3 drives to use the ASUS Speeding HDD, 1 for OS and the 2 for SPDHDD. So I figured what the hell might as well try it out. After loading 77GB of "crap" on the 2 drives and seeing the performace above, Im quite happy with it as is.

Thats a nice setup you have man.
The V-Raptor is quick as hell though, esp when booting up. No waiting at all:rockout:

Thanks~ Your right about that (VR), that was one of my primary reasons behind using the ASUS Speeding HDD so that not only i can make a full 1TB storage device with the performance of a RAID 0 config, and have the boot time with the Velociraptor :D

Now all I have on the VR is Vista,programs, and my games (like 3or4) This rig is quicker than hell now! :D
