Here's mine:

Home Machine - T7500
Dell Precision T7500
Single Xeon X5680 @ 3.33 Ghz (6 core); will add 2nd proccessor later
12.0GB RAM
Nvidia Quadro FX 4800
1 x Dell 3008WFP and 1 x Dell 2707WFP
C: [OS] : 12 OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS 120GB drives in RAID 50 on an LSI 9265-8i.
D: [DATA - COMING SOON!] : 12 Western Digital RE4 2TB drives, 1 hot spare and 2 SSD cache drives on an LSI 9285-8e, in an external enclosure.
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bit
This is with write-back disabled, I don't have a battery installed yet. I forced writeback for some benchmarks, and it was at 3500 MB/sec on write on the file benchmarks- but going to leave it disabled for now until I get the battery.
It's now my OS drive so sorry- no full write benchmarks on the final setup.
I have write-back disabled right now; that write number is at about 3,500 with it enabled.
Next on the tasklist is setting up my external enclosure with 12 Western Digital RE4 2TB drives, 1 hot spare and 2 SSD cache drives on an LSI 9285-8e.
I'll have a worklog when I am done- and what started this whole project is my array crashed during an expansion command; it was on an Adaptec- the array I posted last August. Luckily I had nearly everything (about 3.5TB) backed up on Backblaze- so I am very thankful for that service. It's going to take another 5 weeks to download it all- but at least I'm getting it back! They changed their service where they now allow ISO's and a lot of other files; so I changed my settings and it was in the process of uploading the 450GB that I did not have up there before when the array crashed. It spent 5 months getting everything up there to begin with; but once it was finished, it kept everything synched very well. The problem was this 450GB that I added to the queue, and it was about a month into uploading that; in the meantime we were creating files and such that were after those files in the queue.
I have the array at 24 Hour Data and they are trying a recovery for the last month's worth of stuff that was in the process of being uploaded but did not get there. The Adaptec card completely scrambled everything, but they have at least got the files; they have just at this point determined that all of the meta data is lost; so I don't have filenames, folder structure or file extensions. So the current plan is to download everything from Backblaze and find a de-dup utility where I can delete everything from the recovered array that was not on Backblaze. It's been a complete pain in the ass, but at least it's looking like I'm going to be able to recover everything.

You have data on your RAID array, they just created it and benchmarked it.

2x Crucial M4 256GB in a RAID0 on the Intel SATA3 ports of my Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3
This array is 3 months old exactly (created on 7/5) and the Windows install is the same age.
The motherboard BIOS is using the latest Intel AHCI RAID OROM v 11.5.0.1582 and I'm using the RST version 11.6.0.1030

So here we are a little more than two months later... same install of Windows 7, same RAID0 array, same Gigabyte Z68 motherboard and drivers (so NO TRIM). Man, when is that supposed horrible performance drop because of not having TRIM supposed to happen again?

I figured I'd post this update since I'm getting ready to reinstall Windows and will probably go ahead and do a secure erase on my two M4's while I'm at it.
