adata xpg V2 memory kits are optimized for the latest Intel gaming platforms
check the link in the video description for more details now we all know ssds
are pretty much the ultimate in terms of performance on a desktop system for your
storage but what many of you probably actually do know is that you can run
multiple ssds together in raid zero kind of like SLI for ssds to get even better
performance out of of them particularly in sequential read and write operations
now it doesn't much like SLI it doesn't
necessarily scale perfectly it's like if you run 16 ssds in a system will it
perform 16 times better the answer is no but without getting into expensive fancy
Hardware raid cards or other Exotic Solutions we wanted to find out where
exactly is the limit in scaling for ssds
running on a regular Intel Desktop PC we
this platform because it has six SATA 36 GB per second ports running off of the
Intel chipset the last generation z77 only had two so it was really hard to do
this kind of an investigative thing so we decided to run four different
configurations by the way big thanks to adata for providing these sx900 sand
Force based ssds for our test we ran single drive two drive three drive and
four Drive I lost the last box I have no idea where it is so don't worry trust me
we definitely ran four Drive drives they're all there um and we wanted to
see where the differences in performance really start well disappearing so to
speak so we ran three different benchmarks we ran PC Mark Vantage so we
ran the storage subsystem test and what you'll see here is that it becomes quite
clear very quickly that just because you double the theoretical performance of
one aspect of your system doesn't mean that you're necessarily going to double
the real world performance because PC Mark is more of a real world oriented
test we also Alo see that that small performance difference even continues to
diminish as we add more and more drives giving us that sort of well aderes to
the law of diminishing returns just like you'd see with adding more channels to
memory operation or adding more graphics cards to an SLI or Crossfire config now
when we move on to a synthetic test we ran both reads and right speeds using
the black magic disc speed test which we found to be quite repeatable and quite
realistic in terms of theoretical maximums you'll see that once again we
see a very clear doubling of performance going from a single drive to a two Drive
configuration but once we get into these multi-drive configs three drives still
scales extremely well but adding a fourth drive really doesn't do a whole
lot for even theoretical performance so
while you'll still get extra capacity when you run four 256 gig ssds in raate
zero you get effectively 1 terab of capacity you won't necessarily continue
to get a speed Improvement and you should also be aware that every time you
add another SSD you are adding to the
points of failure that exist in your system and increasing the risk that just
by a single Drive failing you will lose
all of your data if you aren't doing very regular backups so thank you for
checking out this raid Zero Performance investigation with the adata sx900 ssds
