So I asked this question earlier:
"I have a laptop that I use for video editing with Avid Media Composer and Adobe After Effects, as well as 3D rendering with 3DS Max. I currently am using an external SSD to store files for whatever current project I am working on, simply because my internal HD is is slow and the programs are running off the HD. I want to create a split drive rig inside my laptop, which can take two drives, and put a 240 GB SSD and a 480 GB SSD inside, and use the 1TB HD that I currently have inside as a backup/mass storage external drive. I want to know, is it possible to move the Users folder from the C:/ drive to the D:/ drive in Windows 8.1? I plan to use the 240 GB SSD for storing my OS and Program Files, and then use the 480 GB SSD as a storage drive for school files/whatever else. I will then use my current external SSD in the same way that I have been, as a drive for current video projects, and use the HD as a backup/storage drive when the 480 GB is getting too large. Is this feasible? Thanks."
I got an excellent answer, and now have been thinking. Since I want speed and will be backing these drives up to the HDD, should I just combine the two SSDs using RAID 0 and backup weekly? If so, does anybody know how to do that with a laptop that has an Insyde BIOS? Thanks.
