I currently have 1- 256 SSD, and 2 WD green 1 TB- in Raid 1- But I'm out of space-
I like the redundancy for important files (my music & Documents) but I dont really care so much for certain things (like steam) where performance is more important then having a backup.
With that said
I would like to add 2 - 1 TB WD Black in Raid array to my computer, but striped, for performance.
My motherboard is a Z77 Sabertooth, and If im not mistaken has 2 different controllers. My question is:
Is it advisable to utilize the method I'm attempting? Does anyone have experience of running two separate Raid arrays with two separate controllers on the same MOBO? I wouldn't mind experimenting, but that's alot of time re-downloading/backing up/ transferring data, in case there is a snag.
Space wouldn't be an issue if steam sales & FLAC didn't exist.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
