Patrick Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Put the SSD and then install your OS first and then see if you have the latest firmware on the SSD. See if how stable the two HDDs are on RAID before you decide to use it daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxhedroom Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 A general rule when going with an HDD raid 0 setup is to just use the hdd's separately for a couple of months (maybe even run them thru some extra stress testing even) before building your raid array. A sizable chunk of HDDs that fail, will do so within the first few months of service and then ofc the majority give up the ghost after 3-5 years of use.
