I'm going to take the plunge and get an SSD for Windows 7 and a couple of 1TB hard drives to put in raid 0.
The 100GB OCZ Vertex Limited or the Vertex 2 are the hot favourites for the SSD side of the house and the Spinpoint F3 is up for the hard drives. PC ( i7 930 clocked at 3.8 with a 280 GTX) is used for a host of applications ranging from Photoshop to intense first person shooter.
Are the following statements correct: The SSD will provide a super fast windows OS along with a few programs I can fit on the drive (elements 7 and flavour of the week game). The drives in raid 0 should provide speedy (for hard drive) access to movies, pics and any other cr*p that I have on them.
I plan to do a fresh install of window 7 on the SSD. I have never dabbled with raid before so I'm not sure where to start. How do I go about setting the 2 hard drives in raid 0. Can they be done after the install of Windows or must they be in raid before I start.
