ssd in raid

[47]

so i got 2x40gb ssd's. im thinking if raiding them. other than 2x the possibility of all data loss, what are some other cons ?

 

[Steve]

derp

 

[dead mike]

need a back up data, your ps3 or spend another 40 for 500gb?

raid0 sounds good to me

 

[DrUgZ]

no point 47. just install your OS on one and whatever games you play on the other.

 

[47]

thats what i already have... but wont i double my speed ?

 

[47]

edit: umm , yeah. so resizing images is another mystery on its own. had to do it manually and fuck the quality of image.

explain this sheet:

 

[sir-drek]

is it bad i thought he meant how they'd perform in a raid... in wow

 

[Hinouchi]

haha that's the score I got with a 7200rpm 500gb hdd =P

intel . im first in the game every time. ratings r bullshit obv if they rate it same as 7200rpm.

ive looked on the internet, other ppl have the same rating of 5.9 with their ssd's.

anyway, should i raid that shit or what ?

 

[OG buckshot jr]

Here's a little thing about Windows Experience Index. First off, it tests fuck all. Secondly, it reads the hardware device ID, and thereby automatically assigns it a rating. For example, after taking my quad-core from 2.4Ghz to 3.4Ghz nothing changed in the "Index", however 3dMark scores went up huge.

Conclusion: When did we ever trust "Windows" to tell us what's good? lol

+1 BJ, ignore that shit 47.

1 stupid question, did you redo the testing? I have a few people online that swap their 7200rpm with a ssd in their laptop, and the score did indeed improve from 5.9 to 7.2 I think.

 

[47]

+1 what BJ said, its retarded. i never had any other drive other than ssd in there. its just silly.


to raid or not to raid is the question !

 

[LT_Clash]

Raid. go big or go home 47

 

[47]

wuuuuurrrd

so how do i raid now ? lol

format ?

 

[dead mike]

man u should look into that, i think there's things about over loading your SATA ports, hardware vs software raid....

but raid 0 sounds fast, also i heard that intel ssd write speeds are artificially handicapped, maybe theres a way to unlock the power

might want to grab that or similar so you can make 10 backups if u need too.

i used that to make backup images, when i set up some of my systems i made like a 40gb partition and dumped the .xml backups to it for reasy recovery

well, this was useful: http://www.ibeast.com/content/tools/RaidCalc/RaidCalc.asp

is the loss in the little space that i got worth the speed gain ? i never ran raid 0 before
