More Information

I've got 4 500GB Seagate 7200.11 ST3500320AS Hard Drives (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6822148288) in a Raid-0 setup on my Asus P5Q-Pro. The MB uses Intel Matrix Raid (ich10r).

Using HD-Tach I'm getting sustained speeds of around 203MB/sec. I actually don't know if this is good or if I should be getting faster speeds. I've got write caching enabled as well.

Thanks!
