3 SSD drives and P8P67

bazaarboy · 12 May 2011 at 21:22

hi chaps
I'd appreciate a quick opinion -
I have a new system, and I'd like to get the fastest SSD configuration

I have 3 x Crucial C300s (all latest firmware) and an Asus P8P67

What, in your view would be the best set-up?

All 3 SSDs in Raid0 (on the blue sata 2 connections)
or 2 SSDs in Raid0 on the sata 3 connections?

2 x Crucial C300s in Raid 0

Would be the better choice.

Anymore than 2 SSD's in Raid 0 seems like a waste of speed unless you plan on performing millions of sequential read/write operations every day

i guess in the real world i'd be hard pressed to tell the difference - but would all 3 ssds in raid0 in sata2 be faster?

i've installed win7 on a single SSD, for testing, in 355 seconds - so wouldnt be too much hassle to try different setups

Predicament, I see you've gone with a slighly more modest signature than your last one.

How come you're not in the OcUK Sandybridge 5GHz Club?

He did promise them at least twice but they never appeared.

I wonder why?

Well, it took a lot of work to get a silver one, if I had a black case I could have had one sent ages ago, but in two weeks it should arrive all the way from holland :cool:

I will post pictures, unlike someones pc in their sig

But... but... Conan. *Cries*

It's funny how a few people on this forum have sigs that stand out oh so much.
