I have an Asus P8H67-M Pro/CSM <Rev 3.0> Motherboard with i-2500k processor & dual WD Black 1TB HDDs set up in RAID 1 for protection of my business data. I want to add an SSD to load the OS & programs on & still keep data on the HDD with RAID enabled But here is my dilemma. The MB has only 2 SATA 6.0Gb/s connectors (& 4 SATA 3.0Gb/s connectors). Obviously, I want to put the SSD on one of the 6.0Gb/s connectors, so that only leaves one for a RAID HDD.
The choices seem to be:
A. Leave as is w/ no SSD (RAID1 on 6.0Gb/s connectors)
B. SSD on 6.0 Gb/s & RAID1 with 1 HDD on 6.0Gb/s with the 2nd on 3.0 Gb/s
C. SSD on 6.0 Gb/s & RAID1 with both HDDs on 3.0Gb/s
Obviously I want the best performance I can get, but do not want to compromise data integrity to do so. What is the best solution to upgrade my system?
Thanks in advance for the help,
ERH
