Default 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.

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

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

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
