ocz core vs falcon

[no_control]

So ran these bench programs i see everyone posting with and i just have to ask if hdtune is worth a shit or is it the drives or is it p.i.c.n.i.c.

hdtune 3 64gb OCZ CORE raid0

Now a single falcon 128gb - starting to get a chubby

top 2 are the CORE raid bottom 2 is a solo falcon - Im feeling stoked at this point

Then install a 2nd Falcon raid 0

then run this and im like WTF!!!!

someone want to tell me what gives? Is it the shitty on board controller? Hdtune?

Looks like some kind of controller or driver issue.

That would also explain the crappy Raided Core scores.

FWIW I have gotten very very similar numbers on my solo 128GB Falcon as well. I wouldn't bother raiding the falcons, run them single, in win7 and/or use the wiper app to implement trim.

I'm wondering if I hook them up to my perc if they will go up.

 

[nitrobass24]

in HDTune what settings were you using? like what test size?
Run the file benchmark.

I dont know to be honest I just fired it up and and hit start.I'll have to rerun it tonight.

I was referring to the crystaldiskmark ones, I havent done HDTune

Pulled the drives and installed my PERC re ran all the tests. I really guess I don't know what I'm looking. It might as well be greek.

as requested nitro.

well a couple things

since it is on the PERC make sure writeback and read ahead caching is turned off in the megaraid manager.

then on the setting in HDtune change the size to the maxs...do the same on crystalmark.

this will ensure that your controller is not interfering with the results.
