Intel X25-V in RAID-0

Yes nice, but the X25-M is like two X25-V's in RAID0 already; it uses 10-channel flash interface while the X25-V uses 5-channel flash interface.

The sequential write performance of 2x X25-V and 1x X25-M is virtually the same.
 
Look at the numbers the raid 0 is putting up, I'm well aware that one drive has 10 flash channels but it does not equal the same performance which is very obvious if you look at the graphs.
 
Yeah in some benchmarks having two controllers matters more than having more flash channels. But the most important benchmark; random read, doesn't get much additional speed in that review; though that's whats most important for your system drive.

For your system drive, the priority of performance is like this:
random read
sequential read
random write
sequential write

So the higher sequential write speed is almost irrelevant on a small system drive; where only the OS+Applications are stored.

For huge SSDs that also may contain user data, yes it would be useful. But then the capacity has to be between 256GB and 1TB as well.
 
I would like to see the numbers of two X25-M 80GB G2 drives in Raid 0 if anyone one on the forum as a pair.
