Not a single drive, and given his comment of intel being overpriced, probably raid of OCZ?...but I missed whatever point he was trying to show about write caching if he was responding to me...so have to ask him. Personally I prefer single drives, raid gets corrupted to easy benching cpu, and I dont see benefits of raid with my use as I do with single SSD vs hard drive.
I dont think disabling write cache is going to be an option with intel drive, kills the performance as my post shows...but you will be able to test yourself soon enough.
As for risk of crashing, between running prime, linpack for 24/7 testing and benching for hours and hours over last months, I have had ?100 bsod's and random shut off's and reboots, all with my intel SSD write cache enabled, havent corrupted a thing yet. Usually I will corrupt an OS at some point on hard drive, and I am sure at some point on this SSD, but does not seem to be any more prone than hard drive that I can tell...and when it does, reinstall from image is 5 mins.
Not to mention like i said this drive will be so outdated in a year or 2, I wouldnt care if it worked or not by then...and i doubt the wear level boogey man is going to get me before then.
