MY build and all the benchmark numbers

[deathstar13]

yup, and still 32GB is the lowest a gaming pc should have. My ram will be outdated by the time i reach its full capacity.
Either i hit the silicone lottery or the ram is just that good but 6400Mhz is a breeze for me. One day after i clone my OS drive ill push for 6600Mhz as thats how i corrupted my last install. Plus learning the Bios to its max would help.
I wish i had your mobo for 3 Gen5 slots but its not to be since my T500's coming are gen4, 33% off on amazon for 2TB w/heatsinks for $149 i took that over the bare 4Tb version.

Unicorns do 6600 1:1.

if its gonna happen ill do it. stupid goal but what the hell i got nothing but time. Ill pop the voltage on the Northbridge and loosen my timings one notch.

 

[freeagent]

You would have done it already because it would be running

All good, its your rig

very well done man! But that CL makes it not worth it id say.i would only go upto 34 CL for it to run at its peak. I was able to previously get 6464Mhz CL32 so if pushed and enough juice to the right spots i have no doubts i can do it.

On a side note my 2x 2TB T500's Crucial drives with heatsinks showed up today so now i have to rip my 9070 out so i can install them.

I was reinstalling windows after a cpu swap and just punched it in to see if it would boot.

This is my daily settings.. pretty much just a mildly tweaked EXPO profile.

You really hitten those sticks hard with voltage. Mine is limited too 1.43v and wont allow anything higher.

They don't seem to mind the voltage, yours will go higher, you just have to enable it. Or else mine are also capped to 1.435.

Thanks ill give that a look.

I got my two Crucial 2TB gen 4 drives with heatsinks installed and when i went to format them i saw i could raid0 them in Disk Managment. I think software raid has issues in the "Write" department but i was actually impress how it scored against my Crucial T705 Gen5 drive. Randoms actually kept up with my 705 so that impressed me.
705 on the left and 2xT500 raid0 on the right.
I may look for a nice hardware raid card but its tight on my mobo with this giant GPU.

 

[deathstar13]

After a reboot and some games loaded onto my Raid 0 stripe i ended up with the Raid O getting very close to Gen5 specs.
My randoms are matching my T705 gen 5 drive.
in the pic its 705-500-500-705 as that reboot made a big difference. Raid 0 is not dead imo.
BTW Amazon has the T705 with heatsink 4TB for $369 which is only $70 for what i paid for my 2x Gen4 T500's as i would have gotten it for a better value.

Use the high voltage option. It should be above VDD/VDDQ, unless ASUS locked it in your mobo.

MS dynamic volumes perform the same, if not better, than hardware RAID because they use much faster RAM and CPU than hardware controllers. This is totally different from what it used to be with server controllers a couple of years ago.
Your 2nd result suggests there is a thermal throttling or other issue. There is no way these SSDs would have 1GB/s write in any RAID.

You can also see that 2x T500 should theoretically match T705 in sequential bandwidth, but their bandwidth is significantly lower. The new gen at least doesn't lose much in low-queue random bandwidth. RAID is still pointless unless you need the PC to keep running without breaks or you need larger volumes, but for that, you use RAID1 or RAID10.
Run 3DMark Storage benchmark or anything else that uses real-world applications for tests, and you will see that a single SSD gets better scores.

I can't share results until May 12th, as the embargo is in effect, but since they have it on their website, then here is the best you can get right now if you want the fastest single SSD. It will probably cost significantly more than the T705.

Did you measure time to load in terms of boot times, reboot times, and re-loading the same save game across non-raid and raid 0'd on the same drives? Or basing everything off of a synthetic benchmark?

 

[deathstar13]

Id need to go back in this thread to find my single T500 Crystalmark tests to compare them.
These two drives are in Gen4 slots as my Asus mobo only has one Gen5 slot which i where i have my T705 and OS installed.
Sequential speeds may be lower in Raid 0 compared to a Gen5 drive but randoms are on par with a Gen5.

Im not gonna test the crap out of this as all i have is game loading times i can measure. The OS is on another drive.


EDIT. i found these benchmarks of the T500 single drive and against my T705.

Post number 8 is thread has that info.

MY build and all the benchmark numbers

I was asked to have a thread that documents my build. As it stands i have my last major part being delivered any moment from Amazon and Fedex. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DTHMPWFR?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I have a vertical mount for it but it takes up alot of room but i may use it still...

If you didn't test with those same drives using one, there's no point to test in RAID as you don't have the base data to compare. Not sure who would want to know how fast they load without a comparison.

I think his point was to make sure that you're seeing real world results that are worthwhile (enough to warrant 2x failure potential - CDM results are just numbers......). Game loads barely budge from SATA SSD to NVMe so I doubt you'll see a lot of improvement.

Good vid...... probably linked this earlier in your RAID thread....

...as you can see, there's very little difference between SATA SSD and NVMe...

705 on the left and 500 on the right.
Listen im not syaing its perferct, But i do feel it has some advantages being i only have the 2 Gen4 clots open.

What are the advantages?

Besides random values benchmarks numbers... What are you experiencing that it's better to run like this? It's nice to see higher numbers, but if you can't make use of it, then what's the point? That's what we've been getting at. Run it just because is OK too, do you. Please don't misunderstand me. But you're mentioning R0 is not dead and there are advantages, but, what are they? And, moreover, what are they for YOU?
