SSD Question
 

Currently I am running 4 seagate 250GB in a raid 0 128k stripe on the on board controller of the EVGA classified. When building the array in the bios set up I generally use the four drives and create two volumes and 4 partitions 2 on each volume. Then I install the OS's. I have it set up to tri-boot. Windows XP pro 32, Vista 64 bit, and windows 7 64 bit. I am considering going to 4 SSD's on the on board controller and am curios if I could set up SSD's the same way with a tri-boot system and multiple partitions in a raid 0 array.
I know performance would be better with an add on card however that will come later.

Thank You

Yup you would do it the same way with SSD's

Your total Raid 0 size will be smaller tho do the small size of SSD's.

not sure what kind of research you've done peakes, but take a look at the alignment needed to get these things purring.

ICH10R handles up to 6 SSD's pretty well.

i actually run 2 ssd's on the ICH10 and it runs great, and i have multiboot setup on it.... its the same as any hdd, just much faster

Yup... not a problem at all, and you'll get more speed to boot. :D

Jeff if you are using the Vertex drives no tweaks are neccesary and they will run as you ask.

Thank You for the reply Now I just need to find the money for these drives.

Check Jeffro's yard, I hear he's got a jar buried under the porch. :P

Check out my thread over at NBOC. I setup 4 OCZ Vertex in RAID0 on Vista and I also set up 2 of them in RAID0 on Win7. I used the Classified board for both setups.

Very nice Duke !

Yes when I first setup my 8x 32gb MTRON PRO SSD Raid 0 I had the same reaction you had with yours :)

I have had this bad boy running for about a year now and it's very hard to go back to HDD's :)
