I (and many others here) advise you against SSD in RAID 0, you will be a lot better off by waiting for the 960GB SSD to come out.
What if you would use 2x 512GB SSD as TWO separated drives? One for media files, one for games?
Re: Largest consumer SSDs?
Windows 8 does allow you to use storage spaces which is how I am using an 128Gb and a 64Gb ssd to run my games setup.
Re: Largest consumer SSDs?
As others have said do NOT do RAID-0 with SSDs. It doesn't buy you anything. Inside the SSDs themselves are a number of chips all configured as RAID anyway. Windows will let you mount volumes as sub volumes of other volumes - eg I had a smallish bootdisk as C: and presented an iSCSI volume as c:\iscsi.
So you could have d:\ as your 1st SSD and d:\<flightsims> as your 2nd one.
Re: Largest consumer SSDs?
Thanks for the responses guys.
Yeah, it wasn't my intention to use RAID and it does seem especially inefficient when using SSDs. The 960GB Crucial drive looks like what I'm after - any idea if competitors will be coming out with similar models or is it just Crucial at this time?
Re: Largest consumer SSDs?
sadly its no longer 0.50p per gb now for ssd , its crept back up to £1 per gb for the high end stuff :(
Re: Largest consumer SSDs?
Apparently we'll be having 2Tb SSD soon:
Wouldn't like to know the price of that, i already know i can't justify the spend :D
