Extra SSD...what to do with it

paisleyoperator · Feb 22, 2014

I am building a new gaming PC (mostly to play elder scrolls online) and have purchased a new 256mb SSD to run windows 8.1. I am wondering then what I should do with my old 128mb SSD that I have sitting around...do I sell it, can i keep it in addition to the new 256mb and only install games on it for reduced load times, can i run a raid 0 natively on a asus Z77 mother board or do i just keep it around for storage of random files? Thanks in advance for the help.

Use your 128GB SSD to run windows, programs and second 256GB for games, for raid0 yes z77 chipset must support raid 0,1,5,10! https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77V/#specifications

That sounds like a good plan. Would you keep them seperate or run them in raid 0 and can I run raid 0 if they are not identical drives?

I'd just keep them separate! the speed of your SSD's will be more than enough!

Ok good because I'm running 8.1 on the 128mb already and that would save me a bit of time as I'm keeping my motherboard and CPU....thanks for the help brother

There is nothing wrong with using an older solid state drive as a secondary drive to store data and backup's. That is exactly what I am doing with my old Samsung 470 SATA 2 3Gb/s 256GB ssd.
