My question is on my next PC setup.
Q1] Install Windows 10 on Raid 0 or separate
Q2] Best way to have my data drives run as a Raid 1 Backup or is there a better option
I currently have my system built as:
1. - Windows 10 Drive = 2 850 Pro 2tb in Raid 0 = 4TB (however, I recently learned its not installed as UEFI / GPT due to a BCD error I have)
- Windows 7 Drive = 1 850 Pro 2TB AHCI
- 3 WD Red 4TB as Data
- 1 Seagate Barracuda 3TB as Data
Ideally I would like to:
1. Have windows 10 on the fastest possible Drive. This would be the 850 pro, should I stay with windows on the Raid 0 850 Pro? I thought I would see a significant performance, however I learned it was not setup properly
2. I just purchased 2 10TB Seagate Iron Wolf Drives and would like to guarantee that my data is backed up due to a recent Smart failure. Can I run two raid arrays? What is the best way to keep the data safe?
Any other input would be greatly appreciated.
