Hi guys,
I am seeking some opinions on a strange situation please
I have 2x Vertex 3 128GB, but have a Samsung 830 128GB on the way = 3 SSD's, which I plan to reprovision from scratch. I am undecided on what way to set them up, but here is what I have been using the 2 separate SSD's for so far (non-raid):
I am a programmer and mostly use Ubuntu development VM's in VMWare. I'm also a big gamer with a big (300+) Steam collection. I have been using Steam Tool to keep a couple of games on SSD and the rest on a big HD (junctions).
With 3 drives, I am wavering on whether to Raid 0 the 2 Vertex 3's or if there is some other configuration.
I have a 4TB Raid 5 drive for backup, which I do with a Fog server, so no need to worry about any of them breaking.
Anyone got any thoughts? I can't afford another one at the moment, so this is what I have to work with.
