Hey guys,
As the title shows, I'm a noob, but have been reading about RAID setups since my SSD is starting to get filled up. I built the following rig which, at first, was done without much of a budget. That quickly changed towards the end which explains some other components, including the graphics card and SSD storage limit.
Intel i7 2600K
ASUS P8P67 Pro
GTX 460
G Skill 8GB (4GBx2)
Corsair TX750
Samsung F3 1 TB
Vertex2 SSD 60 GB
HAF 932 Full Tower Case
Now, my SSD, which has my OS, is 70% full, and I have tons of free space on the Samsung HD (of course). I'm looking for an easy solution and discovered the whole RAID configuration. When I saw just how many configurations there are, I figured I'd ask experts before doing my own guesswork. My rig is built for gaming primarily, but also used for research and stats crunching which was a problem for my cheap dell laptop but now is no longer an issue for my beast.
