SSD raid0 idea

[dave_beast]

So i'm thinking the reason why some don't raid0 their SSD's is because of lack of trim support, which got me thinking...

I dug out a copy of Diskeeper 2010 that I have and it has an option for auto optimization of SSD drives. Theoretically, this will do the same as trim, even on raid0.

Just posting in case anyone was thinking of trying it out and reporting on it working or not?

From what I recall, it doesn't really work properly. Google "Tony Trim".

That's using PerfectDisk though yeah?

Yes, but there's the same principals behind it.

The Vertex 2e's dont need trim, they have the sandforce controller which has its own garbage collection built in.

I have had no issues or noticed any slow with my pair of Vertex 2e's 120gb ssd's in raid 0.

Their ace

How much improvement does raid0 offer you over a single Vertex 2e in day-to-day stuff? Is it particularly noticeable or just incremental?

These things are so expensive!!

It's not going to offer any increase in "day to day stuff", unless your day to day activities are copying large amounts of data between hard drives. It wont make his access times any faster.
