Looks great, but that burst speed is messed up. That's the second one we've seen here that was like that. Must be a glitch.
 
Here's mine. Shame about the 8MB buffer.

very nice crazyfish 200mb Avg :O I wan lol but I dont want to pay for a raid configurer.. max my mobo is 2 in raid.
 
it's a glitch chewy ;)
 
it is not a glitch, the Seagate 7.10's have native command queing and I enabled volume write-back cache which increases performance :rockout:
 
how did you do that, so i can try on mine

note to self: sys specs need to be update
 
Yes, you can go in the device manager and go into the properties for the volume or drive under "disks" and go to the policies tab, should be an option to enable the write-back cache if you drive supports it. If you have an Intel array you can use the intel storage manager to enable the write-back cache by right clicking on the volume and selecting that option

cool man, it says a power failure can make me lose my data.. there was something like this in the Vista tweaks thread but I cant go cherck it out I must go to sleep.. I didnt think it could improve performace much.. what HD's are you using?

Edit if your results are real (they prob not but what do I know) than you have the best avg read time on tpu by the looks of it... heres # atm 1. dumuzi =176.8mb/s - (4X 320GB Seagate RAID 0 - QuadDisk Stripe RAID 0 Array).

Edit #2

I cant do it with my raid controller, I also heard that I wouldnt notice huge improvments when I was thinking about getting a back-up power supply just so I could enable it.

edit:
the glitch is only on the lower graphic, the top (big one) seems fine with 243

Check out the reviews on newegg, as you can see some other people are having the same read speeds, and 64mb read speed is about right when you have a single drive, but its much faster when you have a stripe array

:D Yes I have three of these in RAID 0
