The Crucial RealSSD C300 relies heavily on its fast SATA 6.0Gbps interface. Without the fast data-rate the SSD has a hard time keeping up with other competing drives. In most of our real-world traces the difference between the two interfaces generally had the 3.0Gbps trace at half the performance, and right near the bottom of the charts. As soon as it was routed through a capable interface though, it rocketed past the competition.
In the correct setting the Crucial RealSSD can easily smoke the competition, but if you can't adequately let it stretch its legs, the performance drops. For this reason if you have a notebook, it might be best to look at other options. If you have a desktop, seriously consider splurging for a good controller card like the LSI MegaRAID 9260 to let the RealSSD C300 live up to its full potential. In that case, there's nothing in the consumer space that can keep up with the C300.

PC Cases/raid card advice please
Just wanted to know what knowlegeable pc builders thought of this case.
Its called the...XCase XC RM 400/10

I liked the idea of easily installing multiple H/drives but know nothing about how raid cards work or which one would be suitable.
I'm willing to spend £100 for a case if you know any better ones.
would this raid card be okay for multiple drives....Lsi MegaRAID SAS 8204ELP - 4 Port SATA/SAS
http://www.xcase.co.uk/p/463579/lsi-megaraid-sas-8204elp---4-port-satasas.html
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Excellent case but could be noisy unless you get something to dampen insulate it, as for the raid card yes it will do fine.
Best wishes
