I havce two Crucial M4 128GB SSD in raid 0 on an IBM M5015 raid controller with 512MB of onboard ram for cache.
I did a benchmark and here is the result (screenshots from CrystalDiskMark):

I am disappointed with the writing results (this is a raid 0 of two SSD's) and I am wondering why it is so low?
In comparison, this is the result from a 256GB Samsung 840 Pro Series installed in an Asus Zenbook Prime:

One single drive is having better write performance than two in raid 0! I know Samsung is faster SSD than Crucial's but, again in raid 0 I expect them to perform just as good as one Samsung alone.
Why do you think this is the case? I have enabled the caching on the the raid controller firmware. Could it be the reason for the slowness?
Thanks.
