    Thinking about Raid?


    So I set up my New machine and used a previously configured install of WIN 7 64bit Pro it found all my new drivers and I installed the Motherboards driver disc on first boot and had no problems No BSOD everything is hunky dory.

    the HD my Operating system is on is a 60 gb Corsair SSD, if I bought another one the same is it worth my while, apparently sata III only works on my board in Raid, and what type of raid should I use, Raid isnt something Ive ever used, or should I just use what I have,

    I would give you a simple answer, but the honest truth is there are threads pages long on these forums arguing the benefit / risk of creating raids and it's just something people don't really seem to agree on in general.

    Sorry to be vague, but that's the way it is.

    Personally, I wouldn't bother with a RAID. Just stick to a single SSD. That's my advice.
