RAID 0 Question

[diesel43078]

I recently took the SSD out of my gaming rig to put it in my laptop. I replaced the SSD with 2 WD caviar black 500GB HDD's in a RAID 0 array. My question is, one caviar black scores a 5.9 on the windows experience index, and RAID 0 increases drive performance, so why is my HDD score still 5.9 even in RAID 0? It's a fresh installation of windows 7 professional, with all updates. Any insight, advice, or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Anthony

Common problem, I've got two raptors in RAID0 and I also get 5.9

Ran a HD Tune benchmark and the average transfer rate on the RAID 0 array was 158.3. The only test results I could find after a quick search was a caviar black 640 with an average around 95. The benchmark is showing that it's obviously faster. I wonder why windows doesn't think so.

maybe it's only testing the speed at the controller, not after the two data streams have combined...if that makes sense.

It's probably just Windows scoring you incorrectly, it's not exactly known for being an accurate benchmark.
