GIGABYTE+ AMD very disappointing
With support for RAID 0 with SSD

See how the new board with SB850 barely able to give 200 MB with RAID 0 2XSSD

Look RAID 0 with 2 disks simple mechanical

Look at tests on Intel boards with RAID 0 + SSD

Are the board has a problem?
Does the board amd RAID 0 speed limits?
How can I improve speed?
How Intel's board gives good results
 
Are you using the chipset ports or the extra ports? Basically try the chipset ports instead of the GIGABYTE SATA2 ports.
 
Begin by testing with CrystalDiskMark; never use HDTune on a RAID-array you might get invalid scores. Set test size to 1000MB or so in CrystalDiskMark and post some benchmarks if you like.

Better to do this now before you switch to AMD chipset controller; so you can compare the Silicon Image ("GIGABYTE controller") with your REAL controller: AMD SB850 6x AHCI SATA/300.
 
Benchmark single SSD performance if you can. Then each individual SSD at the same time.
 
Looking at the picture I believe the blue ports are chipset ports and the white ports are the GIGABYTE SATA2 ports. If you have only used the blue ports try the white ones.

HDTune is perfectly accurate if you set the transfer size (HDTune calls it "block size") appropriate to what you want to test for - sequential, random, whatever.

io try to this in sata 6 and 7
i can't Install WIN 7 ON SATA 6 AND 7

ONLE ON SATA Blue Between 0 TO 5
 
I would do testing independent of a windows install. Although you most likely can install a bootable driver for windows during the install phase for the other raid.
 
BTW since you mentioned that windows is on the raid that you are trying to benchmark are you sure that no other part of windows is using the disk (indexing, antivirus ...) these can drastically change the result.

I AM Sorry I do not understand
Do I need to put something down?

one hint... try posting without using CAPS
it makes you look arrogant (even wen you don't mean to) and might block off people who want to help you...

I've made some changes on RAIDXpert
Here I've made changes in pictures

Changes results:

Improvement:
80MB read
13MB write

4K QD32 = There was great improvement in reading from 50 MB came to 200 MB write added only 10 MB

Questions:
1. What is Media Patrol Loop Count?
2. What's this? NCQ Enabled
3. What's Write Cache Enabled
4. Test what they say 512K or 4K terms or SEQ QD32

What this test :
http://localhost:25902/amd/screen.jsp

Does something have an idea how to improve more?
