CPU: Intel i7 4770k
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1866 Mhz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-HD3
CPU Cooler: Corsair h100i
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (2x)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB (4x)
GPU: EVGA GTX 760 SC
Case: Cooler Master HAF X
Okay now that I have the part list out of the way I want to explain my plans for setting up these drives. For the Mac OSX side I want to use one of the SSD's as the OS install and programs, then I want to use two of the HDD's in RAID 1 for reliability. Now, I have included 4 HDD's in my build and 2 SSD's to have two of these disk setups, one for Mac OSX and one for Windows. My thinking is put one SSD in at first, install Mac OSX. Then put in two of the HDD and set them up in Mac OSX as RAID 1. Then, put in the second SSD and install Windows 8 on that SSD. After that, put in the two remaining HDD and set them up as RAID 1 for the Windows side.
Please let me know if I have planned something wrong or my parts aren't compatible with Hacintosh.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!
