Working fine here with a 60GB Agility 3 and 2 x Samsung 1TB F3s in RAID 1 :) The Intel sw did disable the cache drive during a rebuild yet it did not disable the cache drive during an expansion. Apart from this minor inconsistency I've not experienced a single hiccup. Edit: While I remember...

I went through something like this once upon a time. The single disk does not contain the raid drivers so the image copied to the raid array fails to boot. The answer was simple, put the raid divers on the single drive and then copy the image to the raid array :) How? Even more simple. Connect...

Also make sure hard drive power saving options are turned OFF, at least for the SSD.

If things go to plan then current flash based SSDs will be nothing but a flash in the pan :eek: How about a non-volatile storage device with DRAM like write life, a density of 100 Gbits per square cm and access speeds faster than DRAM? Oh, it should cost less than flash too. It's set to...

Just reading a few more reviews... Here is a nice one with a few interesting bits of info, eg The Dataflex software is licensed to your PC! What happens if you replace the HDD on the hybrid with a Crucial M4? -Muhahahahaha...

EaseUS ToDo Backup http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm It's free, for home use at least, must read the license one day. It will Clone drive to drive, so long as the target is at least as big as the source. They tell me it can also restore a backup to a smaller...

Found 2 reviews :) http://www.guru3d.com/article/ocz-revodrive-hybrid-review/1 http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviews/1282/pg1/ocz-revodrive-hybrid-pcie-100gb-ssd-1tb-hdd-review-introduction.html Must be the boot drive else the caching doesn't work. Not clear if the Hybid as a boot...

Reviews? Where? I didn't know they were out... Off to read :)

Interesting. Tell me more about the Dataplex caching SW used by OCZ? Seriously, caching is everything wrt this product and with 100GB of SSD cache space available I'd be interested to hear your predictions.

Sounds like the BIOS is changing the 'Drive Id' of your boot drive when the other disks are installed. Here's how it works on my PC. If I have only 1 disk and it is connected to SATA 1 it has id = 0. If I have 2 disks, one disk in SATA 1 and one in SATA 2 they have id's of 0 and 1. If I have...

They tell me that EaseUS ToDo Backup can do this :eek: And it's free :)

... and the OCZ supplied software is reported to perform better than the Intel sw. ymmv FancyCache can cache directly to an existing SSD so may give you something to play with. A potential down side of FC is the usage of system memory for level 1 caching, not a problem for 8GB 64bit systems...

The overprovision makes for an interesting argument: 128GB drive of which 64GB is available for cache and the caching sw is smart enough to use all 64GB to best advantage by ensuring the stuff you have used over the past few days is accelerated. vs Standard 128GB drive. Even when...

The good side of the ssd caching solutions, revo hybrid, intel srt is two fold: 1) They do all the boring coping to and from HD for you 2) They cache what you actually use so they do not waste costly ssd space storing miscellaneous junk. Example, I'd guess 80% of a win7 install is misc. junk...

This study of failure rates based on information from various data centres makes for an interesting read, I'll link the last page... http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/ssd-reliability-failure-rate,review-32241-9.html tl;dr: Still tl;dr: ymmv, backup often!

Sad. Warning contains spoilers: http://xkcd.com/606/ :)

Redemption: A great game, even though the plot is Mills and Boon sandwiched between two slices of cheese. Well worth playing. Bloodlines: Certainly in my top 5. Excellent characterisations, dark humour, some wonderful level design - an essay in horror sub-genres and an interesting study of the...

Ah, Blue Oyster Cult, that takes me back. Good game, very enjoyable. Though I miss some of the features they cut. I'm in that sad, come down phase now where I hop around random related forums leaving the occasional thought. So, given I've not read any of this thread, has anyone else seen...

Well, free entry period mentioned above is now over :( the good news is 500 beta keys are to be released for the final closed beta. The 1st 100 can be found here...

I assume she's not currently a gamer or she'd be picking her own games. Anyway, +1 for 'The Longest Journey' and 'Dreamfall: The Longest Journey' and all the typical 'casual' games. In threads like this I always end up linking to Arwen's web site, it chronicles the true story of of a young...
