software RAID 0 - Disk XFER 160 MB/s to external HDD (USB3) on WSL

don't discount software RAID 0

Using Windows Ubuntu Linux subsystem with a few mods to get GUI stuff to work.

Transferring Audio to external XFS (Linux) formatted USB3 drive from Linux HDD RAW drive attached to WSL.
No SSD's involved

160 MB/s (note not 160 Mb/s) very happy with that performance - especially to external passport 3TB type self powered pocket sized USB drive for backup..

still getting very nice throughput and across a network too -- source is my NAS server, target is external USB drive connected to USB3 port and mounted on ubuntu subsystem on Windows.

Hi there
@slicendice

3 X 3 TB HDD's Native Linux in RAID 0 array source on remote server to a single USB 3 external 3 TB passport WD drive (also Linux formatted XFS ) connected to Windows machine.

OS Windows 10 Pro X64 on a 3 TB HDD - not an SSD in sight here. Running WSL / UBUNTU subsystem.
Remote NAS server -- LINUX CENTOS 7.2 -- HDD's shared over network via SAMBA. Network via Wifi so not to bad !! Remote server has 3 X 3 TB HDD's in RAID 0 config. OS running from standard HDD -- once booted though Native Linux runs pretty much in RAM so SSD wouldn't make a huge difference for running the remote OS.

WD USB3 HDD attached to the Windows Machine to test the RAID 0 Xfer over a network via wifi (@5GHZ)..

Similar speeds obtained when 3 X 3 TB raid 0 connected to Windows machine running WSL with USB 3 external HDD and not using a network.

Network speed doesn't seem to make any difference to performance using this setup.
