Maximus IV Raid 0 , on which controller for max performance or no raid at all

Hi all,


I just swapped my old P45Q Deluxe for a Max IV Extreme , as this has 2 raid controllers and I have 4 SSD's , Im wondering if someone has tried the 2 raid controllers ( Intel / Marvel ) in a R0 setup before ?

HW Specs :

2x 90 GB Corsair SSD's on which my current OS is running ( older ones , bought them 4 years back )
2x 256 GB Samsung SSD's ( 830 Serie MZ-7PC256B )

My question is :

which controller will give the most throughput ? as per overclockers the Marvel Controller has more juice to offer and better throughput ?

I'm planning to migrate the OS onto the 2 Samsung SSD's as they are brand new and still virgins , the 2 Corsair one's will be used for ... not quite sure what for, but will find something , maybe putting the games on those drives and some apps ?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

Intel will give you a better performance.

Stick games on your two Corsairs?

The Intel controller was my first thought as well until I read over some pages from overclockers.com , but yeah, the games will definately go onto the corsairs , looking forward to posting results of the throughput , hopefully shortly 😄
