Hey,
My intended storage configuration will be the following:
2 x 250GB Samsung EVO SSD (In RAID 0)
1 x 2TB Western Digital Black HDD
All of the RAID 0 tutorials I've seen so far involve installing OS X on a third drive, then cloning it to a RAID 0 array made using disk utility. As I see it, I have two options:
#1: Install OS X on the HDD, then clone it over to the RAID 0 array and format the hard drive using disk utility, which will later be used for video and other miscellaneous storage.
#2: Configure a RAID 0 array in the BIOS (Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5 TH ATX LGA1150 Motherboard) and install the OS to that directly.
Either way, I will later be partitioning the RAID 0 array and using a portion of it for Windows 8.
I need to know which way is better, or if there is yet a better method.
P.S. I am planning on using a GTX 780, and with the motherboard I am using, would it be a better idea to get the EVGA model or the Gigabyte model?
Thanks.
