Sorry if I wasn't clear.  My RAID has read/write speeds up to and over 2GB/sec, depending on which test I run and with what file size.  It's an 8 x 2TB 6G/s SAS drive RAID5.  I have it partitioned into (4) 3.5 TB disks, one of which holds the caches for all my Adobe apps, and stock libraries.  So, the caches have never filled up yet.  I usually dump them when they get pretty large.

I use a 500G SSD for a boot drive.  I have to say that it doesn't seem that much faster than the SATA I replace it with, as far as booting goes.  It does launch Excel noticeably faster, though.  Sigh.

At first I read this as a "2GB PCIe RAID" and I'm thinking - "wow, only a 2 GB SSD? That must fill up quick"

How much room on there? curious about read / write speeds too...

I use my ~2GB/s PCIe ATTO SAS RAID for caches.

Trying to get a rough average (or median) for a new AE benchmark I'm working on. Part of the test would be SSD cached frame retrieval speed, and overall BG cache speed. One goal is to have a preset amount of cache filled in the test project from which to establish a baseline, but I'd like to know what most people are working with.
