[jdfoxx]

I have 3 Corsair force 3 and 3 Corsair force 3 GT ssd's 120gb can i set them up in raid0 ? i also have 3 Hitachi 1TB drives too. What can i set them up in.

I have a StarTech 4 Port PCI Express SATA III (6Gbps) Controller Card which i will be using but have no experience of, can it be using along side my 4 sata 3 ports onn my mobo.

cheers

Hey, it is a x4 card. The machine it will be used on is mainly for gaming, photo and video editing and rendering video also some encoding too.

I have always used 2 ssd in raid0 which the OS and some games are stored on mainly installed games from dvd since the early days. I also keep my main files on a raid1 array so they always backed up.

Only asking because i have changed all of the kids machines to vertex 4 ssd so im left with the spare ssd and i do not resell items (although i should ^_^ ) so they will be sat gathering dust so thought they could be put to use since i have the raid controller but if you think its best to just keep the standard raid0/1 will leave alone as i am pulling now around 980 mb/s read and 750 mb/s write.

Forgot to add i do also transfer a lot of files between drives and compress and extract a lot of data using winrar.
