SSD RAID0 Windows 7 64bit very slow!!!

The scenario-
I recently purchased a second Corsair Force 3 120GB HDD mainly to double the size of my C:\Drive and to improve performance.

Motherboard- Z68XP-UD3

So I formatted my computer and plugged the 2 SSDs into the 2 SATA 3 ports on the motherboard- Configured this to RAID settings in the BIOS. In the RAID configuration (BIOS) I configured these to 2 drives to RAID0) Did a windows installation. Installed all the drivers and did all that and ran the windows experience index-
PRIMARY HARD DISK = 6.0
This is really F bad before with 1 drive I was getting 7.8 out of 7.9

I ran ATTO Disk bench and got some very strange results.
The write speeds where way faster!!!
Example- Write 500MB/s READ 46MB/s

With 1 disk I was getting about 550 MB/s Read and Write

I was expecting to get about 900MB/s read and write in this configuration-


I noticed that the 2 disks are running different firmware but when I download Corsairs firmware update tool it doesn't see the drives!

Doing large file copies use a lot of CPU about 30% of a i7 2600K

Are there any specific drivers I can install to fix this problem?

You need to run the SSd's as a single drive and it will take care of itself immediately. Because even a single SSD will work very faster in every way if compared to drives spinning in Raid0. Download the F6 install drivers from its official website incase you have a Intel Chipset and save to a usb drive. After that you have to just set the BIOS to RAID/AHCI mode and set up the RAID. Hope that helps you out.
