Kingston SSD 128GB in RAID 0 with i7-975 extreme PC FSX FTX

[fal7963]

a eso llamo una maquina de buena calidad. Perfect.!

[xXPBSXx1]

CPU: 7.6

RAM: 7.9

Graphic (Both): 7.9

HDD (at moment) :5.6 1TB

i go buy a 3 TB :D



[oWhiteMonster]

@xXPBSXx1 3tb wont improve your score. ANY mechanical HD gets 5.5-5.9

[xXPBSXx1]

@oWhiteMonster

ah ok :)

[SuperPincopallino92]

Well.. I'm wondering how fast can a PC like that run XP

[Extrem3Gam3R]

1:51 EPIC FOCUS FAIL

[nforester]

Crucial M4 also gives 7.9

[iveckin]

i have one kingston hyperx ssd and i get 7,9 windows performance index :)

[mantas123312]

For christ sake I would like such a PC...

i bet your mommy and daddy pay the electricity bill

[seetherfan1328]

have you noticed any degradation in the RAID set up since you've installed 'em? I'm considering getting 2 128GB ssds or just 1 256GB ssd depending on the long-term performance.If you're system hasn't slowed down due to TRIM or Garbage Collection, i'll try the RAID setup. thanks.

[PUA687]

@seetherfan1328 Not so far; If you’re only using two drives the difference between one 256GB SSD and two 128GB SSDs will be barely noticeable at best, and provably not at all. I would use a single drive. You’ll begin to see improvements with about 3 SSDs in RAID0 and speed tops at about 5 or 6 SSDs in RAID0. At that point adding more drives doesn’t make it any faster; it may even be slower! The cpu cycles wasted in RAID overhead counteract any benefits.

[SOF006]

@PUA687 Kingston V+ drives don't degrade. They have built in garbadge collection which works the same way TRIM does in Windows 7.

[woodelfe]

@PUA687 i stand by your logic that 1 SSD > 2 SSDs based on personal experience, performance increase was negligible at best. however, i saw a video that seemed quite realistic of a guy raiding 24 SSDs together...not practical, but if true it cracks your theory about 5+ ssd's slowing down.either way, though, my personal opinion would be to get an SSD big enough to support your OS and any games that you think you might play (if you play more than 90gb of games at a time you need to find a girl ;D)

[woodelfe]

@PUA687 also - whereabouts do you sarge? ;)

[B7acKLioN]

@seetherfan1328 from what i know do not get the first gen ssd drives because theys ux really bad get sata 3 they are more reliable and don't use jmicron controllers which were a piece of shit..

[ed0985587]

im gay

[yuri00r]

Please, the name of the second song (instrumental). Its sooo rox!

[PUA687]

@yuri00r Toccata & Fugue in d minor (Johann Sebastian Bach)

[yuri00r]

@PUA687 yeah I know, but this rock version? Were you found it? Please!

[PUA687]

@yuri00r Sorry I do not know the origin of this cover. 

[TheAzeDK]

what graphic will I get with an Nvidia 550 ti? you think?

[PUA687]

@TheAzeDK It will be decent. Hard to tell without knowing other factors such as what you’ll use it for, whether you ‘ll overclock it or not, CPU, memory, etc. But for about the same money I would get an AMD 6850 that outperforms the Nvidia 550Ti by 25 to 30%

[TheAzeDK]

@PUA687 how much is cost?

[PUA687]

@TheAzeDK AMD 6850 U$D 165-170 and GTX 550Ti 145-170 

[TheAzeDK]

@PUA687 I'm not sure what I'm buying. Can they both run crysis without lagg?

[PUA687]

@TheAzeDK Crysis is a graphically impressive game that can crash any system when played with all its settings maxed out. The graphics card by itself is not an indicator of how good the display will be. The Nvidia 550Ti and AMD 6850 are adequate video cards to play the game provided you have sufficient system resources to go with either card (CPU, DRAM.)

Any newer PC with a cpu 3.0GHz or higher should be more than enough. 2.4GHz min.

[PUA687]

@TheAzeDK With less resources the game can still be played, you just have to compromise the graphics quality.

[helthuismartin]

You bedder take the older Kingston V100 sries without the +. They are a little bit faster

[2040Tech]

you know windows xp comes in x64 too

[helthuismartin]

@2040Tech Windows XP doesnt support TRIM and SMART.

[scarface4never]

u got my Case xD

[Millennmify]

Raid 0 with SSDs don't support the Windows 7 trim command.

[hostliner]

Press ON "AHCI" your BIOS to full speed SSD device)))))))

[zzxxcvbgfhyu]

lol my Corsair F60 have 7.8

[brunthroath6912]

Kingston is the worst. They sell that garbage anywhere.

[KomaTechno]

You are writing so fast...zzz

[Tableuraz]

Yay! Carmen, "si tu ne m'aime pas je t'ayimeuh (t'aiiiiime)" XD

Seriously, your game seems quite laggy for a so powerful computer, but it's the same with a friend of mine, he built a computer with a GTX460, a i5 and 3Gb of DDR3 RAM and I get better performance on Metro 2033 with an E7500 @3.03Ghz, 4Gb DDR3 RAM, ATI RADEON HD 4870 and a good ol' 7200RPM Caviar 500Gb Green Hard-Drive ^_^

Song list please.

[PUA687]

@Carlton The Offspring - Stuff Is Messed Up [Explicit]

[Carlton]

@PUA687 Thanks man!

[mrbiggoggles314]

Oh, I used to have that fan on your desk, I miss it

[zeewolsk]

I don't usually pay much attention to windows score but I have a single Intel x25m g2 160GB SSD and it has a score of 7.5, just 0.1 lower from your RAID config one. But again, I'm sure when your actually using the computer it is a lot faster...oh wait, on urs it would be taking into account the HDDs too so that might put the score down a bit, if it was only assessing the SSDs in RAID the score would be higher (I think)

[uberwagn]

Those are some awful framerates in FSX.. Have you installed SP1 and SP2 for FSX?

[lord800]

you a offspring fan ???

[PUA687]

@lord800 I'm a music's fan, and yes I like offspring.

[Matthew1128NIV]

Can i do raid 0 with 2 kingston ssd drives, both are 128gb but one is v+ and one is v series, i doubt theres a difference, but let me know if should work. Thanks

[PUA687]

@Matthew1128NIV You can put them in RAID 0. Their speeds are different but their combined speed in RAID will be faster than that of a single drive

SSDNow V+ Drive

Sequential Read Throughput – 230MB/s

Sequential Write Throughput – 180MB/s

SSDNow V Series Drive

Sequential Read Throughput – 200MB/s

Sequential Write Throughput – 160MB/s

[Matthew1128NIV]

@PUA687 Thanks man, appreciate it.

[loge666]

name of clasical song

[PUA687]

@loge666 The song is the Habanera interpreted by singer Angela Gheorghiu from the opera Carmen written by French composer Georges Bizet

[loge666]

@PUA687 It so asome !:P

[Kozlaxyz]

next time show ot off on cs 1.6 please .....

[TheShalomyo]

the reason im asking is i also got kingstone 64gb v series ssd and i am thinking of raid 0

[PUA687]

@TheShalomyo I recommend it. 2 SSDs in RAID 0 will be definitely faster than a single SSD. Once you get to 4 or 5 member arrays you reach the cap and do not see any higher speeds, but from 1 to 2 SSDs in raid you'll like it.

[TheShalomyo]

is it much better in raid 0 than 1 drive?

[PUA687]

@TheShalomyo Yes, max speed was 220MB/sec and avg speed with a single SSD was around 200MB/sec; but with 2 SSDs in RAID0

max is 391MB/sec and avg 293MB/sec. with 3 SSDs in RAID 0 you get max ± 580 and avg 450.

[TheShalomyo]

does raid 0 boot win 7 faster< load game/applications faster and does it fell over all faster?

[PUA687]

@TheShalomyo Yes it is noticeably faster, cuts boot up time in half, and I noticed the whole system running faster.

What I mean is that some improvements you can only tell your system is better when you benchmark it because it is only an improvement of fractions of a second whereas, with the SSDs in RAID 0 I can tell/feel the PC is faster without having to run a bench mark test to measure the improvement.

[bigdima3]

@PUA687 Dude, im thinking of getting 2 cheap OCS Onyx ssds for RAID 0 , , do you think there will be a difference

[PUA687]

@bigdima3 You'll see a big difference if you use SSDs in RAID 0 from a standard HD

[using192]

is it possebul to geth 7.9 becouse it wont let me dot that......

[PUA687]

@using192 I assume it's possible , but I haven't been able to reach a score of 7.9 either.

[coyaks]

great pc noob game

[7greyskies]

you have some kick ass hardware there man.. keep up the vids :)

[PUA687]

@7greyskies Thanks!

[wickedout2010]

Nice video. SSD's rock. I have the Intel X-25 G2 and love it.

[guitargamery]

well done friend, i have a similar system but i can get more frames, maybe the extreme colling system, great ssd raid man!! i use 3 wd vr 300(900gb) in raid o, thumbs up friend

[PUA687]

@guitargamery Thanks for your comments!

[DuyAnh1]

hey if I install a second HD into my PC what does it called?

do u call that RAID or just normal installation? help plz

[MultiGeekster]

your last hd was set to IDE that is the same on my pc and i find the performances is not that as high but if you put it in AHCI mode you will get all the performances from the drive if i am wrong let me know? i have wd 320aak 16meg cash and abit of software is telling me that the NQC is not workin i think is should be AHCI mode?

[PUA687]

@MultiGeekster You are right about AHCI and while NCQ organizes the search for data on your hard drive and can speed up any single drive; NCQ generally decreases performance if using RAID. You would see a more noticeable speed increase using RAID 0 than NCQ. NCQ shines in multiple simultaneous read/write requests typically occurring in server-type applications.

[PUA687]

@MultiGeekster For NCQ to be enabled, it must be supported and enabled in the SATA host bus adapter and in the hard drive itself. The appropriate driver must be loaded into the operating system to enable NCQ on the host bus adapter.

[PUA687]

@MultiGeekster Many newer chipsets support AHCI which should allow a generic driver supplied by the operating system to control them and enable NCQ. XP requires the installation of a vendor-specific driver even if AHCI is present on the host bus adapter. Vista and 7 natively supports both AHCI and NCQ.

[MultiGeekster]

just to let you know 720p is 1280x720 what up with the little window....?

[SutkasFan]

WOW man ! Realy nice PC!

So like i see you can make two RAID's in one motherboard...

Does that depends of the number of the controlers ?

Because i know there is a motherboard with even 3 controlers!

[PUA687]

@SutkasFan Thanks for your comments. You can have multiple RAID arrays with one controller; the number of arrays possible depends on the number of SATA connectors, type of array, and number of member disks. The ASUS P6T board I used on this video has two RAID controllers, but in the video I only used one of them to build the two arrays.

[SutkasFan]

@PUA687

Thanks for explaining me that!

Realy helpful!

Thanks realy!

[OriginalAtomicSheep]

never mind

[OriginalAtomicSheep]

how do u live with just 250gb?

[ilibasic]

kingstone ssd sucks :) only 1 intel M25 is faster then tgos 2

[2StrokeRacing]

FSX runs best at an AMD CPU and an ATi graphics card.

Make sure you have activated DirectX10, thats importent.

[Spyah]

Seems like the best upgrade for a fsx machine. .. i just upgraded to a ati 5870 , and got better fps but still on some airports i get just 15 fps , and thats with default scenery .. ..

[Spyah]

how big was your fsx fps increase after the upgrade to ssd ? and did you also happen to have run it on a single ssd (no raid), i want to upgrade to ssd too, specialy for fsx.

[PUA687]

I noticed only a slight increase in FPS but FSX ran better. What was remarkable was the instant access time and data transfer rate, avg 294 and max. 392 MB/s. Ive added a 3rd SSD to the RAID 0 and it now AVGs 441 MB/s and MAX 587 MB/s. It helps when loading GBs of scenery files. Did not run fsx with just 1 ssd.

[swissxplane]

i want your computer!

i didn't really understand what the kingston 125Gb is?

[PUA687]

Thanks, the Kingston 128GB SSDs are solid state drives that will eventually replace traditional hard drives. Their advantages are many, including instant access time, faster transfer rate, small size, low power consumption and heat, no moving parts, absence of noise, etc.

[Lazureus]

I find XP to be quite a waste on a core i-series machine. XP has poor multicore handling compared to windows 7.

Especially considering any realistic i7 machine especially is going to have at least 4gb of RAM or more, XP cannot even use all of it, so the OS is not even capable of making full use of your hardware.

Like buying a ferrari and giving it to an old geezer who doesn't drive faster than 30mph.

[PUA687]

I agree, however most people aren't ready to give up XP just yet. Even MS extended the operating system's life. I just showed how both can coexist. The PC in the video has 12GB of DDR3 fully utilized by W7, but XP only sees 3.5GB of it.

Like buying the Ferrari in the US and being able to use it on school zones and the local freeways restricted by the speed limit, but also having the ability to drive it unrestricted in the Bundesautobahnen as well.

[teduwas]

really extreme. can you make a series on how to build PC's ? looks like it is your hobby :-)

[PUA687]

Thanks! I would like to make a series on how to build a PC but not in the near furture b/c I just don't have the time right now :- (
