Listen, we know you think your RAID setup is pretty snazzy, and, truth be told, it probably makes our rig look foolish by comparison. However, in the computer world, there’s always someone out there with a bigger, nastier system — and we’ve just spotted one of the nastiest of them all. Next Level Hardware is a site that specializes is putting outrageous setups to the tryout, and that instance they haven’t disappointed with their benchmarks on the Mtron 16GB SSD (reportedly the fastest SATA drive in the world). Oh, did we mention the analysis was on a RAID 0 array of nine

drives? Dubbed the “Battleship Mtron,” the sickening collection of hardware blazed past the competition (a WD Raptor, less stacked Mtron RAID setups), delivering mind-boggling info swaps like copying a 1GB folder in four seconds. You read that right: four seconds. Like where that is headed? Truck by to the tryout page and peep all the stats… seriously, it’s upsetting.
