Does anyone knows anything about this toy ? Will it worth to have one to use with an Asus Maximus Gene-z + 2 corsair 60 gb gt ssd's. I don't want to sacrifice from performance in anymeans, so the performance should be the key indicator. and one more question,here are my current results, why is there such a big difference ? http://usb.brando.com/magic-pro-pci-express-sata-6gbps-raid-caddy_p02522c046d15.html
Whilst i've only looked at the specs of the product, since it only uses a single lane 2.0 pcie slot then the theoretical max possible speed would be 500MB/s (real life would be slightly lower) which is *much* slower than what you've got. As to the difference in the b/ms - atto uses 100% compressible data whilst as-ssd uses (effectively) 100% incompressible data... ...since the SFs compress the data as they write, this slows down the speeds when the data's incompressible. irl, other than highly compressed file formats (rars, mp3s, jpegs, etc) which will tend to be near to the lower value in as-ssd, the real value will tend towards being higher than the average - for example a full Win7 & Office installation is way over 50% compressible using the SF's algorithms.
No problem. Though should have said a reasonable amount lower, as i hadn't read that it used the (fabulous) Marvell 9128 controller... Prob nearer to a ~430MB/s max, if that... Well, some people did have issues with cards like the shonky HighPoint thing that bittech recommended where they were getting slower speeds than 3Gb/s sata even with a 2.0 slot.
