So I recently bought two 1tb black caviar's and set them up in raid 0 array on 128k strip.
Everything went smooth and easy and the benchmark results by crystal disk were superb: Link.
The thing is that after I installed some steam games I tested it again and the outcome was very different and not in a good way, the seq read dropped down from 340mb to 220mb and all the other tests dropped at different levels as well.
After installing one more game the seq read speed climbed from 220mb to 290mb and all the others as well.
Am I missing something here? myabe crystal disk mark isnt that good of a benchmark tool? or maybe raid 0 setup tends to behave that way?
Help would be much appreciated.
