Question for new build.

[Proxy]

So I am planning out my new build to take place in the next month or so, I have a question or two about HDD's.


My new build in feature the Asus Rampage III Extreme.

I was thinking about getting two SSD's for Raid-0 on the 6G controller. Now I have heard around here that running SSD's in RAID can cut into their performance if they support trim. Is this true? If so how big is the impact? Or should I just run a single SSD on the 6G controller? My final option would be to just run everything on the Intel controller, but that would kinda defeat some of this "upgrading" I'm doing.

As for storage, I will be using 1TB drive in Raid on the 3G controller.

So finally, what Brand of SSD comes with the highest recommendation?

TRIM doesn't work on RAID, so you lose the benefits if you are running RAID - how much of an impact that is can vary. I think the Intel G2s are still pretty much the SSD of choice (all around).

Sounds good, thanks!
