Hi guys,
I am upgrading my case Define R3 USB3.0 Black Pearl! 0_0 At he moment I am running Windows 7 Pro on a Samsung SSD 256GB 840 Pro! What I was thinking about is setting up a raid 10 2 x 1TB, 2 x 750GB using these as the main drive and using the SSD for caching! I know the SSD is a little big for caching! I don't know weather to stick with the same set up or go for the caching option!

Please help

Thanks in at advance

Hi spooky2th,
I am thinking about using Intel Rapid Start Technology!
I think it could be a waste using 256GB as 64GB is the max!
I might invest in a smaller SSD and use the 256 on my laptop!

thanks for your help!

Thanks for the help guys!
I'm still debating weather to:
1 Keep it as it is!
2 Go for a smaller SSD
3 The mSata route!
4 Try the 256 as a cached option just to see how I get on! If I'm not happy go back to option 1.

I think I will sleep on it!
