alot more info would be helpful. Like mobo processor what sata ports are you using sata 2 or 3 intel/amd or third party. What size you made the raid at (ex 64k 128k yadda yadda) plus alot agree the vertez 3's were dogs to begin with.

its normal. you have too boot the raid contoller etc before windows.

it ALWAYS makes the initial post slower

oh right ok, but the windows logo still takes the same time if not more then having just one SSD? so how did you setup your pc to boot so fast?

make sure you have applied all tweak you can for opsys and ssds. Like going to msconfig and make sure you have it set to boot on all 8 cores. My raid 0 ssd's on win 8 boots pretty darn quick. I havent timed it but its fast lol. Compared to other rigs in my home.

again thanks for your time dude

no prob I just googled ssd tweaks when I did mine and ended up with one I use for ssd's and win 7 most agree win 8 is already pretty optimized for ssd usage and not much is needed. This is what I use. But not everything is taken as gospel I hashed out my own version for instance the services tweaks I dont apply all of them. But take a gander at it and see what you think.
