Intel X25-V SSD 40Gb – Raid 0 performance review

SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what's really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe (PCI Express), database, USB, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.

With sequential reads just shy of 400 mb/s it is clear that the little Intel drives really do deliver the goods in Raid 0. For such a modest outlay the performance is excellent. Write performance is less impressive, however Intel controllers always score much lower than the competition. In Raid 0, write performance is not far from the M series drive.
