  1. Id be happy if I could afford one of these, never mind two. nice performance. im off to cry in a corner.

  2. Work well in RAID 0, but £800 was more than my last system cost. still we can dream, right?

  3. These are amazing SSD drives provided by intel.

  4. You missed a huge performance gain by not installing an intel rst version.
    rapid storage technology gives a boost to the low/mid size file transfer rates which really makes a windows based operating system fly.
    always only use the rst version from the boards download page along w/ being on the latest bios.
    one little glitch to know about; most times write back cache is disabled by default.
    open rst/click volume icon/toggle write back cache on/off/on.
    re-run the atto bench and look for the big performance gain.
