windows boots in about 15-20 sec from power on button, i just got the system up. still reading up on how to OC the x58 platform so i havent done much.

it feels very very snappy
 
Those are sequential numbers, and it sounds like it's a new system for before "burn-in" on the drives. I believe the metric being thrown around regarding SSDs is 4K random writes. Any numbers for that?
 
Damn that is crazy.... 700mb sustained and no dip at all how much did they run?
 
would SSD improve on alt+tabbing performances? or is that memory..

I would like to alt+tab out of tf2 and back on instantly .... on my 3200+ ....

Google 'TF2 borderless window'. This will draw TF2 as a borderless window, allowing you to alt-tab instantly. I'm pretty sure that you just add -noborder to the TF2 launch options, but I'm not 100% on that.

thanks for the help cymon, but im already playing on windowed mode. But wondering if it improves on full screen mode.

Using -noborder is visually identical to full screen (assuming the game is set to the same resolution as your desktop.) It's muuuuch better and instantly switches tasks. I haven't noticed any performance difference between it and full screen, plus the TF2 engine isn't crazy enough where it really matters. But swapping between tasks on this array is probably much quicker in general.

That speed is crazy and I'd also like to see writes. Gonna take the plunge on a trio of Intel X-25 G2's in raid 0 as soon as I can.
