[citation][nom]azama[/nom]Wonder why no drive is approaching 600MB/s, maybe 2 drives in RAID 0 could be faster?I thought SSDs have internal RAID-like configuration.[/citation]
SSDs can't go faster than the interface allows. There are actually PCIe SSDs that break 7GB/s, but they are extrmely expensive PCIe 3.0 x16 SSDs with extremely high capacity. OCZ has such a drive at 12TB and up to 7.2GB/s sequential and another 16TB drive that can reach up to 6GB/s sequential. That's GigaBYTES per second, not gigabits per second and it's not a typo. Two SSDs in RAID 0 really can mean almost twice the performance, but that also means that you have better choose two highly reliable SSDs if you want to avoid losing your data. Intel's 330s might be the best all-around model of choice for this because they use SandForce, a controller series known to not need TRIM at least with the recent versions because it has excellent garbage collection alone, they have high capacity for the price, and are fairly high performance SSDs.
