Since I wanted to know what happens when you put 6 x WD 500GB RE3 24/7 HDD's in a raid 0 array on this monster, well the result I got was a max of 200.4MB per sec, a phenominal amunt of loading power, CoD4 mups load within in a click of a few secs, this was with a buggy Raid5 setup, some how the raid chipset was not supported well by Vista, my mate and I had to find another way to fix this.
Ah well I have to admit that this was a very cool project to work on , next upgrade is an Areca ARC-1220 Raid controller and a second GTX 295 Red Edition for a Quad SLI setup.
This ARC-1220 will eliminate the bottlenecks which the onboard raid controller creates, now I get about 200.4GB per sec avr. which isn't bad, but if you can make the system faster? well I'm like do it, heh I got so far , so I'll bring it to it's max.
As for the second GTX 295 RE, this is to bring this system to it's max rendering proportions without any bottlenecks what so ever.
The ARC-1220 is a PCI-E x8 raid card, with this card I'll buy a 7th 500GB RE3 HDD and in total I'll have 7 HDD's and I'll run a Raid 6 array, with lot's of speed and the best security array possible, 5 HDD's for use 2 for security
well I did get a higher max this time 219MB per sec my lowest was about 105MB per sec my AVR is 184.7 MB per sec:
