RAID 0 v CACHE Drive

[KUSREKCOLCREVO]

Hi

As title suggests, currently have 2 X 30Gig OCZ Vertex II on RAID O but colleague in work says RAID 0 doesnt support trim and without trim the life of my drive will be drastically shortened, is this correct!!

also

What is the performance difference between RAID 0 giving me a combined 60Gig or 1 SSD for my OS and other SSD for chaching drive, or would a 80Gig SATA Caching drive give same performace as SSD

Sorry if its a daft question!!

Cheers

Apparently Intel will have trim RAID support on RST soon...that was last november lol
Performance potential aside, can you not just span the two drives? that should allow 60gb and trim

I will be getting faster performance from RAID 0, by changing to 1 for OS and 1 for caching, would that be even faster or slower?

Anything that is not RAID 0 will be slower, potentially.

if you used a single ssd for caching its still using raid,as its raid based and trim wont be supported,you still have garbage collection that will help maintain your ssd

heres what im getting with a samsung 2tb with the os installed and files ect and using a corsair gt 60gb for caching

I believe trim is supported with the latest beta of Intel rapid storage whatever assuming the op have the Intel chip set since he has not stated.

There are also other rumors which say Intel has bundled trim support
raid 0 and 1 but not really published that they released it.
