Hello,
I'm looking at building a new system that consists of an i5/i7 processor and thus LGA1155 motherboard. I'm interested in a dual raid 1 setup for redundancy, if such a thing is even possible, and practical.
Currently I use 2 hard drives, main drive that contains the OS, programs, etc. And a second drive that is basically storage. My plan is to utilize this concept with my new build.
Eventually, I would like to convert the main drive to SSD, with raid-1. Plus, keeping the storage drive raid-1. Thus, a dual raid-1 setup.
Summary:
C: Drive = SSDs in raid-1
D: Drive = SATAs in raid-1
So my questions are:
1) What do I need to have the above setup?
2) Will there be any negatives to such a setup (redundancy, noticeable performance loss, etc.)?
Thank you in advance.
