Mmmm, tasty!

Im going to have to wait for a molex > sata power cable before I get it all working though, I had to use the one that was connecting my DVD drive for the SSD, and will have to wait for a second before I can reinstall windows.

I had a nightmare looking for my 3.5" bay mounting brackets, I found them eventually, after trying to mount the SSD + akasa bracket into a hard drive bay and getting frustrated over it not fitting at all. Then my brain clicked and thought, 'Oh wait, it means the 3.5" floppy drive space? Erm, where did I put the mounts .... :x'

Should I do it?

Don't think you'll find much difference between RAIDing them and running them as single HDDs for your games...bit of a waste of time I reckon...
