Thinking of upgrading my workstation with a SSD. Has decided to purchase a motherboard with ICH10R RAID Controller and 4 or 6 X25-E SSDs. Would such system will work normally? Whether there will be enough productivity of the controller? What controller will advise?

so far I have yet to see any testing on X25-E that produce linear performance result.
I would suggest you go with X25-M instead. You need the highest end Intel RAID controller to see the real benefit of X25-E. Most of the time, bottleneck is at the low end RAID card.

I somewhat disagree with the previous poster. Linear increase in performance can be had, but it's dependent on your RAID controller. As I mention in another post, on-board RAID chipsets are generally designed specifically for redundancy, not performance. You must have a performance RAID controller in order to benefit from several drives. As an example to back up my experience, visit the following site. It demonstrates that your RAID hardware selection is very important if you're going for speed.

Consider a RAID controller with a high-end chipset and RAM-based cache.
Does this help?

Thanks for answer. But I'm not only going for speed but also I need stability and reliability of work with SSD. So I want to know about their compatibility too. For speed quest I want to know how much IOPS ICH10R can do?
