Hi all,
I'm about to build a new system. I have an ASUS P8 Z68-V Pro Mobo, 2 x 1TB SATA III HD's, and a Crucial M4 64GB SATA III SSD.
As I have the option to configure SRT - I wondered what's the best config? Initially I was planning to have the 2 HDs in RAID0, and then use the SSD for caching - but as all devices are SATAIII I don't have enough 6 gb/s ports. Hence the quandary!
1) Put the 2 HDs on the 6 gb/s ports, and the SSD on 3gb/s port
2) Put the SSD on 6gb/s port, and the 2HDs on 3gb/s ports
3) Scrap the RAID0 idea, put 1 HD on 6gs/s port, the SSD on 6gb/s port, and the other HD on the Marvell 6gb/s port.
4) Not bother with SRT, put the 2HDs on RAID0 on the Intel 6gb/s ports, and the SSD on the Marvell 6gb/s port (and just use the SSD for OS).
Which do you guys think you provide best performance?
Thanks in advance!
