So here's my current system: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/XNJxFT
This is the SSD i already own and want to add: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147193&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
I'm planning to do a complete reformat of my current system and install Windows 8.1 Pro Retail.
What I'd like to do is install the OS on my SSD, and then RAID my two 10kRPM HDDs in RAID0. I've been reading SSD optimization guides and they say that I should configure my HDDs to run as AHCI in the BIOS.
I'm trying to figure out if AHCI also allows me to RAID my drives, as some articles I've read seem to say it does, but It's kind of hard to google a question like this so I'm asking for some help.
Or do I do a software RAID or something since I have Intel?
