SSDs I have no qualms with, and that's all that I use myself.

Fake RAID is software RAID, yes, but done in a deceitful way. That's not a vote for Fake RAID, though, that's a vote for software RAID. As long as the chipset is one that's good IO it's great. Its orders of magnitude faster than the machine it's repacing anyway!

Also, it will still be quite fast, these are Intel SSD drives, reads should be quite good, don't know how well Windows raid scales with number of drives but it will be fast enough. Im quite certain that's slower than Intel RST but speed isn't the issue, it's recoverability in this case. It's an Ivy bridge Xeon workstation, but I went with Windows raid1. Let's face it even the best RAID controller can't top whatever processor and memory you have in your box and most people don't run the Jonas Torning wrote: Very good point Jonas, and again recover-ability and transfer-ability of data was your goal to begin with.įakeraid in other scenarios though should never be underestimated. You can never trust them and they have no incentive for it to work well or reliably because misleading you is the basis of the relationship. I'm not a supporter of vendors attempting to fool their customers - when you start from that position you have a bad relationship from the moment you start. FakeRAID is bad because it is inherently cheap and sold based on the assumption that they can dupe their customers.

I've seen super results with Linux software RAID, I also use that.

"Fakeraid" can be great because it uses your processor and memory, and if those are good and the controller that utilizes them are good then you get good results.

With Windows 7 supporting trim (kind of), Windows 8 and most all versions of Linux if not all the issue becomes less critical. The Samsungs 840's have 3 processors on them each to begin with. the newer generations don't suffer nearly as much from the "limited amount of read/writes" as they once did. SSD RAID is actually quite reliable with the newer drives like the Samsung 840 Pros I have and the Intel's Jonas has. Scott I'd mostly agree with you there, in many cases speed is the determining factor obviously with some level of redundancy. That is also "Fakeraid" and a lot less money. Keep in mind this is only two drives.I get identical results on my Highpoint RocketRAID 2720SGL as well.

this is only two drives (2xSamsung 840 Pro SSD 256GB). The Intel controller with Rapid Storage Technology is actually really, really good. In Jonas's case I would say from a recovery standpoint yes make dynamic disks to use that can be read on any Windows system, but as far as saying "Fakeraid" on Intel or even Marvell (kinda slower) is not good, I would show you this screenshot on my Asus P9x79WS board with two Samsung 840 Pro's in RAID0. It's so awful I would take no RAID over Fake RAID.
