I’m using RR272x v1.5 bios/fw, testing with 4 x 256 GB ADATA XPG SX900
I get close to 500 Mbyte/s (read) per drive, which is great !

But there seems to be something wrong, one out of 4 drives only reach 250 MB/s,
even when moving them around, using the second port, in different combination,
one is not going as fast as the others, but it is not the same SSD drive !

Same if I put all 4 SSD on the same SAS port or 2 + 2 drives/SAS port

(I’m testing with cables from 2 vendors, no diff)

So it is not one faulty drive.

After many reboots I sometimes can get all to perform equal,
but after next reboot one is dropped down to half speed.

I have verified that I’m using a slot @ PCIe 2.0 x8 speed (5GB/s).

SSD fw is 5.02a (latest right now)

Any advice ?

I want one for my gaming rig. GTX 690 first though.

You know what I mean? You pay them for the product, and you assume all responsibility for support of that product, it going bad, not performing as advertised, and so on. There is no customer support with HighPoint. Actually, I just tried to contact them today and their online support (which is the only way to get in touch with them) script is not posting issues, it just redirects you to a blank post your issue screen. Just absolutely lousy company.

So, if you ever consider silly highpoint, know that you won’t be getting support so you better be so good that you never need ask questions.

Example: with 2 SSDs, then 4 (as RAID 0) ? Of course, no need 8 since it was already tested here.

Thanks!
