Not sure how this would be configured in the BIOS or whether it can be done.
Would like the SSD for C:\(OS)
and the 2 WD Drives as Mirrored Data Drives.
Requirments: OS drive must support TRIM
Question: How should the bios be configured to support this arrangment.
Enable AHCI in the bios? or should it be set to RAID?
If set to RAID does the TRIM/AHCI functionality in Windows 7 still work for the SSD Drive?
If it is set to AHCI can I set up a RAID Data Drive?
From the research I have done it seems that this can only be overcome by having 2 SATA controllers (1 for RAID, other for boot SSD with TRIM) OR
wait for the new Intel Matrix Storage drives to come out which hopwfully will support Trim.
Well im ready to install this weekend I really cant be arsed waiting for intel to bring out new drivers (unless there are others/alternative??)
And I dont fancy adding in a SATA controller card. Any other option for me guys?
Thanks for your help everyone.
