Just to let everyone know how this turned out... I decided not to partition the G1 SSD. Creating a partition on the disk without TRIM would probably increase it's long-term efficiency, but only if I were using it alone. Making a striped Raid with two drives of different sizes would have been...

Posted this in the data storage forums, but perhaps it is more suited for this forum considering it's more of a software problem... I'm installing a new HD into a raid array this weekend, so I'm going to need to backup my entire boot drive and then restore it to the new array after I've wiped...

I'm installing a new HD into a raid array this weekend, so I'm going to need to backup my entire boot drive and then restore it to the new array after I've wiped the old drive and set everything up. I'm looking for software that will do this for me, and I was led to Acronis True Image which...

I'm self taught in computer building, and Raid configuration is a new obstacle for me. I understand basically how it works, but most of the information I find online is two to even six years old (makes me feel even more out of date...) my current drives: 1 Intel X25-M 80GB SSD with Windows 7...
