Hi,
I have done some research on this question and am still not 100% on it. I am building a PC (first build ) and would like to have the SSD run the OS and programs, while I have 2 HDD's that will hold my files.
I would like to have the 2 HDD's in RAID 1, so if one goes down I have limited down time (Ill be backing up with an external drive). I was reading that if I install the OS to the SSD first and then set RAID 1 to the 2 HDD's, I will lose TRIM function on the SSD causing performance issue's in the future.
This is just one way I was considering setting up my PC, im open to options. During my reading I have seen a lot of people saying just use one HDD for files and the other as an internal backup. That way the SSD can stay in AHCI and have the TRIM function.
Mobo: Asus P8z77 -v LK
SSD: Corsair Neutron 256GB
HDD: WD Black 1TB
Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
