Help with 1TB Black RAID 0

[aNoMaLy2k8]

Hi,

I'm about to get my first SSD in so I wanted to make a RAID 0 to hold my games and sequential write programs. I've heard of problems with the drives and having to enable TLER but I have neither a floppy disk drive nor any sort of connector that will allow me to use the TLER utility.

Do you guys have a link to a guide or suggestions on how I might be able to accomplish this?

My drives were purchased in April of last year, so they should be able to accept the modification.

Sorry for the noob questions, this is my first time playing with RAID0 and the firmware of my HDDs.

Thanks!

All they need to be is connected via SATA and then set them to IDE mode in the BIOS. They create a bootable CD (UBCD works great) and add the TLER utility to it. Boot from the CD to a command prompt and run TLER.

Also, BootDisk2BootStick will write a bootable floppy image onto a USB drive.

Do I need to leave them in IDE mode to use them in a RAID? What's the purpose of putting them in IDE mode?

Thanks for the responses so far!

No, just to enable TLER on them.
