Matrix RAID vs Windows RAID

[Burner27]

Is there a huge performance difference between using Windows 7 RAID through disk management vs using the Intel ICH10R Matrix RAID?

Not using it for boot drive yet just doing tests to see which is the better performing setup. I am using 2 x 80GB Intel SSD G2s.

Test it and find out? You've got the hard drive and no existing array so why not?

What RAID level?

My suspicion is that performance of Windows RAID remains pretty bad in Win7 and that Intel's is probably faster. But then you've tied that data to an Intel motherboard, which is a bit annoying.

raid 0/1 wont matter, no overheard for either, it is when you get into nested levels of raid i could see it losing performance, they are both technically software raid but i would think the matrix raid may be better.
