Three times faster SSD
Three times faster SSDs can only be RAID 0 out of three SSDs.
On the video test of the RAID array operation in Stripped mode of three Intel SSD 320 Series 120GB.
Testbed configuration and description under the cut.
My old man overclocked to Intel Core Quad Q6600 with 4GB of memory made a test bench. NVIDIA Integrated RAID Controller assembled three Intel SSD 320 Series in a 360GB array.
Here they are handsome:
')
The operating system is Windows 8 Consumer Preview, which, as can be seen from the video, takes only 16 seconds to load.
Further - the .bat-file with which help is launched simultaneously are loaded
Only 9 seconds
(Separately, Photoshop boots for about two seconds)
CrystalDiskMark:
In SiSoft Sandra, the array broke the 600MB / s bar, allowed entry into the TOP-1000, and was faster than 99% of the results loaded into their database:
Compared to a single SSD, linear read and write speeds rose a little less than 3 times.
Three 120GB disks cost almost as much as a single 300GB disk from the same series. Building an array of such disks, in my opinion, is an excellent solution.
However, it must be remembered that in RAID 0, the overall reliability of the array decreases in proportion to the number of disks in it, so you should consider a regular backup for which a regular HDD will work.
Thank you so much L2K for shooting and help!

I want to note that the SSD 320 Series entered the market more than a year ago, and are based on the SATA II interface. Intel also releases faster models, such as the 520 Series ( review ).
