    Does a raid card performance degrade over time?

    I bought a used/system pull serveRaid m1015 (a rebadged LSI 9240-8i) but CDM sequential read/write for two g.skill 60gb SF SSD in Raid0 is only 340/133. OS is win2k8 server R2 and raid mode already AHCI. Perhaps additional settings need to be fixed? My board is MSI k9a2 platinum and proc is...
