Thanks for the links bro

if FM are kind enough to approve this score youare going to completely obliterate this benchmark once you get those numbers cranking

now i'm depressed lol

need to find SSDs IF FM approve this lol

SSD drives are definitely the way of the future!

I'm helping my mum's friend with video encoding/authoring their wedding videos soon so will do it on this 920/DFI X58 rig with SSD raid 0 as scratch disk - should speed things up quite a bit



edit:

This time split my 4x32GB SSD Raid 0 into 2 partitions of equal size M and N drive and then did a Pcmark05 run and got much higher startup scores but 1/6th the speed in General HDD

Unfortunately, still get systeminfo corrupted message on submission page





Then ran Pcmark05 again but off 2nd SSD partition on N drive and got a nice boost

hiya eva slightly off topic what would you advise for a sata raid controller to buy new in the uk best sort of performance for the price sort of speak, thanks m8

My wishlist top 6 (if i didn't have a budget) in no particular order would be

• Highpoint RR4320 http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/rr4320.htm (so close to pushing the buy button on this one heh)
• Highpoint RR3520LF http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/series_3500.htm (one I have right now which is 2nd cheapest behind Adaptec 5405 which only has 4 ports)
• Adaptec 5805 http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/product...ance/SAS-5805/
• Adaptec 5405 http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/product...ance/SAS-5405/
• Areca 1680 SAS/SATA with 1GB cache http://www.areca.us/products/pcietosas1680series.htm
• Areca 1231ML with 1GB cache http://www.areca.us/products/pcie341.htm

Budget/price wise RR3520LF, Adaptec 5405 are about the same, RR4320 and 5805 a next up (RR4320 being a bit more in Australia), Areca will cost twice as much as RR4320 ad 5805s

Dam if only I had the money I'd try all of them

cheers eva
had no idea on the raid cards, i'll look into it i hope to be getting 4 x 30gb ssds at some point in raid 0 , i know the raid cards range widely in price , what would you say i will have to pay for a 4 port reasonable one £60 ish, thanks for the advice appreciated

eva2000

real budget end we have Adaptec 2405 and Highpoint RR3510LF and RR3220 http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/series_3000.htm and RR2310.

Highpoint 3510LF would be first pick then Adaptec 2405 but nothing you can find decent in £60 range unfortunately
