I currently have just a WD green drive, and the speeds of it are the sole reason why i'm upgrading.
Now for the question, what i'm looking at are 2 drives: a hybrid drive, and a wd black drive. (maybe even a 3rd being a small ssd)
What i'm looking for is major performance.
What i'm asking for is if it is possible to
1) Use the hybrid drive as the main drive (if i can migrate the contents of the green drive over onto)
2) Use the black drive as storage for games and programs that take up huge amounts of space (also could be on the hybrid)
3) Having the green drive as a windows/file backup/storage for files that R/W speeds don't really matter
4) (optional) Having a small SSD as a caching drive, being i don't trust them for my main files (seen too many fail after a year)
My knowledge of RAID setups is limited to me scanning over the RAID FAQ, and also if things like my motherboard/desktop setup would limit this
Specs:
ASRock 970 Extreme3
AMD FX-8350 - stock clock
8GB RAM Corsair Vengeance
WD Green HDD 1TB
GTX 670 FTW
