X79 FTW + Raid 0 Agility 4 256gb. *bugged in sata2 speed* [solved]

[Boulard83]

Hi guyz ( and gurlz),

I buyed my first Agility 4 at newegg for 149.99$ (no MIR, instant rabate, canadian dollar) and i was happy with it. Its my 4th SSD if i dont count alllll the SSD i installed in friend and other people computer. But my gaol was to Raid 0 these thing as soon as i find a good deal. Tigerdirect had the Agility 4 256gb at 109.99$ on black friday so i buyed a second one.

At first i found the perfomance not that good but i realized that i was plugged on the Sata2 port on my X79 motherboard ... thats what happen when you are in a hurry to test your new goodies late at night Rebooted on Sata 3 ports and performance was at OK level but not blazing fast. Im still very happy with it cause the bang for the buck is damn good. In the end i have 512gb of Sata 3 SSD in Raid 0 for nothing more than 260$, nearly 50cent per gb !

The rig :
EVGA X79 FTW • I7 3820 @ 4.2ghz • PH-TC14PE
16gb G.Skill 2133mhz • EVGA GTX 670 + Accelero TTII
Tecnofront HWD BenchTable • Antec TPQ-1200-OC
Raid 0 2x Agility 4 256gb • Surround Asus VE278Q 5760x1080

Raid 0 Agility 4 256gb Sata 2

Raid 0 Agility 4 256gb Sata 3

ATTO : 299gb free / 452gb total. I didnt closed anything, AV and steam are running in background. Next to my post is a single agi 4 256 from neoseeker.

TRIM is working

Ultimate goal was to have more SSD space. Its aslo faster as a bonus for 260$ canadian total.

Still nice boost man.

The price you paid was...... Amazing :O

Over in the UK, it is ~100-150 GBP per 240GB Sata III SSD's. Which is 160$ - 220$ :/

Here's a nice RAID 0 SSD performance
