Parsec:

Look at this disappointing RAID 0 performance for the two RAID 0 960 Evo SSDs:

Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) :  1791.183 MB/s
  Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) :  1560.562 MB/s
  Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) :   601.617 MB/s [146879.2 IOPS]
 Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) :   445.122 MB/s [108672.4 IOPS]
         Sequential Read (T= 1) :  1748.861 MB/s
        Sequential Write (T= 1) :  1314.590 MB/s
   Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) :    44.066 MB/s [ 10758.3 IOPS]
  Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) :   126.434 MB/s [ 30867.7 IOPS]

  Test : 4096 MiB [C: 11.7% (54.4/465.2 GiB)] (x3)  [Interval=5 sec]
  Date : 2017/01/06 16:04:11
    OS : Windows 10  [10.0 Build 14393] (x64)

Seriously, there must be something wrong with this, given others are getting way better performance from a single drive.  You did suggest a single drive would perform better.  Maybe I should start over and remove the Array and clone the OS onto a single drive.

By the way, it's bizarre, but I cannot install the NVMe driver - the driver software just doesn't see the array at all...  not sure if that's part of this too.  :(  lol

Thoughts?
