in June I got my first SSD which was a Samsung EVO 840 250GB and I have not had any issues at all!
I had a HDD as a second drive and all my single player games went on too and my steam library but a few games on the SSD for map loading or multiplayer games and some other stuff on.
this Drive died about a month or so ago now and been limiting down what i have been installing on to the SSD due to this and limited space
over Christmas I managed to get another Samsung EVO 840 250GB which was on sale for a good price.
my question is what would you guys do? setup the two drives in raid 0 so the drive is setup as 1 drive with 500GB space or just connect it as a second drive and use it like I did my old HDD before it failed?
i have a X58 board and i am using the sata 2 connections and not sata 3 due to the marvell controller being quite poor and cant even reach the top speed of my SSD.
single drive speeds are 280mb read and write, i should be able to get the full speeds of the SSD's if I raid them and i keep nothing on my PC that i cannot replace if anything ever happens
