Congrats..

But do OCZ or Corsair provide international warranty? I heard only Intel and Kingston provides.

 

[Gannu]

Congrats!

So are these drives on RAID or otherwise?

Try using a couple of those drives on RAID 0 for a change.

There has to be something wrong.
Ain't those supposed to give like much much better performance??? you are getting max reads of 280ish MBPS!!! Am I correct? Ain't those supposed to be like 500MBPS or so...?

Also as a direct comparison to the Kingston HyperX's 120Gb this seems a lot slower, from what I remember...I am now in office so I can't get HD tune up for that, maybe tomorrow or so, but it was way way faster as far as I remember...

 

[dr.sankhadeep]

i am on sata 2 thats why 200ish numbers... just waiting for ivy to come out and will upgrade to sata 3 and then u wiill see the blistering speeds...500ish

 

[pratikb]

congrats .

Thats what I was wondering why the speeds were way off....or if I was doing something wrong with my benchmark when i did test it...

Anyhow, thanks a lot for the comparison
