hey guys, just made a spec and am about to order it, wanted to see if it all works well together, and any tips/changes!








I already have a samsung F3 1TB hdd, a psu, and disk drive etc!


thanks!
 
it will get slower over time without trim.

rather expensive too?

Ok the RevoDrive has no TRIM support but OCZ will be producing one for both the Revo and Z-Drives sometime in the future. For now, to keep this drive blistering fast you will have to make do with the usual garbage collection utilities. As this baby was originally designed for server class use, its raid controllers are extremely robust and generally, with normal desktop use, you should not see a drop in speed. Even under full stress, the drive dips slightly under 200MB/s which is not that bad by any margin.

PS if your using this level of hardware, double your budget for your case!

Get the Asus 5870v2. £5 more granted, but it's shorter, runs cooler and more efficient (i think). Plus its Asus!
 
thanks for the replies!

well its between the revo drive or 2x ocz vertex 2 60gbs in raid 0...

so which one would be better?

and i really need as small a case as possible to be able to go back and fourth from uni to home, and ive read that the antec 300 is amazing for the size and price!
 
hmm okay thanks guys,

so is it better to get

2x OCZ Vertex 2E 60GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive

and put them in raid 0 or the 1 pciE ocz ssd?

im confused ;D


also is it worth getting the Corsair H50-1 High-Performance CPU Watercooler

over the viper or is there a small difference between the two?

and what about getting that arctic thermal paste? worth it?
 
Get the Vertex2E's mate they will be considerably faster than the pci-e ocz card and put them in raid 0
the H50 is an awesome cooler and i would recommend,
get some artic silver mx5 its cheap and keeps temps cool

enjoy
