I had nothing but problems with J-Micron controllers.

I would not buy this disk.

You're obviously missing the point here.

Each of the SSD's use an Indilinx controller and 64MB of cache.

The Jmicron controller is just there for the RAID of the two SDD's. It's a driverless RAID, so just plug the drive into your PC and it'll work.

Wow.... My single SSD for £150 outperforms this. Technology advances fast! This vid is only 2 years old! Haha!

[nem1908]

yes but don't you lose trim support?

@The64BitGeek sup,i used j micron for many, many years on diferent mobos, never had any problems

seq read is not that special comparing it with an intel x-25m, the write, is however alot faster than the intel. I would expect 500MB/s seq read from this. For that price you could just raid0 some SSD's yourself and have a faster experience. But I guess it's okay if I look at the date of this, nice video :)

Thats funny. The SSD controller could do what the RAID is doing-just put 2x as many nands and use more pricy wider path ssd controller.

install flashpoint driver and post the difference!

What's a "Fake 4K test"? I want to get the G-Monster Promise PCIE card.

that's an incredibly clever idea. I'm sure with the extra space in a 3.5" drive.. they could whip something up with a triple/quadruple raid config for desktops. Cudos to Photofast for creating a new area (if not era) in hard disks!
