The read (600MB/s) / write (838MB/s) figures are impressive, although I expected the read performance to be higher than write performance, as is normally with a single SSD. I'm using the motherboard's hardware RAID support on a 6GB/s SATA 3 port.

You probably don't use much disk I/O with 16GB of memory for a build.
