Samsung SSD's in RAID 0

[Buckeye]

Yeah you should really look into a ARC-1231ML to run with those. I like those drives tho. I am interested in how well they will hold up tho. I am using MTRON PROs which they claim are rated for server operation and a 5 year warranty.

Here is my setup in Raid 0



After a major crash on my main working rig last week and found myself unprepared backup wise, Ouch ! Didn’t turn out that bad I am not sure what actually happened with the rig, could be hardware or something like that. I am going through all the equipment on a test bench to try and figure that out atm.

But I needed a machine up and running for work. So the new rig which has been waiting for cooling and has been running in stock setup was commissioned as the new work/play rig. It has no OC yet.

This machine is loaded with all my work apps, anti-virus (which was turned off for tests), the whole banana.

The SSD Raid was set to Raid 5 config for safety, I felt the need to do that after last weekend’s computer crash. I did take a hit on bandwidth but I have extra safety now, but to tell you the truth I can hardly notice any performance hit.

All in all it is running Xtremely well and very fast. Going from a Raid 0 and Vista boot time which was ~8-10 seconds, and now in Raid 5 and all apps loaded it takes about ~12 seconds. So still a very good boot time. Apps like Photoshop, Outlook, Paperport etc all load almost instant. I am very happy with this setup so far, I just need cooling to OC this beast.
