    SATA III is relatively new- it's only featured with the newer Sandy Bridge models. The x7200 is from the last generation chipset (x58) versus the newer HM65 or HM67 models

    well... I guess I have to form a raid ssd to acheive a 7.9 score on win7 and higher marks from other testing softwares (just for fun).
    waiting my second ssd to be fixed... It only lasted 3 months....

    If you're thinking of dropping an additional hundred(s) of dollars just to improve meaningless scores and benchmarks, you really should reconsider.

    RAID with SSD's is not recommended. There is not yet TRIM support for RAID'd SSD's, which means over time they will have performance degradation. The speed boost for RAID with standard desktop tasks would be nearly imperceptible anyway.

    The 510 do support TRIM in a single drive set up but once you set it up in RAID it wont be anymore.
