iMac 2010 Dual SSD xbench results

[Rich1989]

Hi,

I just installed two SSD drives in a 3.5 bracket into my 2010 iMac i5 (I used the new 3rd sata so was able to keep my optical drive).

I have set them up as a striped raid and the xbench scores are below, does anyone know what I should expect to score and how close my results are?

I've used two 160 intel x25m drives and a 32k block size (which apparently is best for home users?)

Cheers,

Richard
