Hi all
I have recently built my own PC:
Corsair Graphite 600T
Corsair AX650 PSU
Intel i7 2600K
Corsair DDR3 RAM 8GB
Corsair Liquid Cooling Kit H100
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
Sapphire Radeon HD 7970
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
OCZ Vertex 3 120GB
But here I have one problem.
As the motherboard supports Intel Smart Response Technology, I have two options - I can either go and install the system on the SSD or on HDD in RAID mode to enable the Intel Rapid Storage Technology.
I would like to ask the experts, how much of performance difference (read/write) will there be approximately between two options? And which one is better option?
Also when using RST, is it okay to partition the HDD into two - system and data storage? (e.g. 120GB for system and the rest for storage) And would the storage partition also be compatible with RST?
Your help would be really appreciated.
Joel
