setting up ssd with traditonal hardrive

[Bullfrog2099]

Hi, I Just got an Intel x25-m ssd and I was wondering how to set it up with a "traditional" Velociraptor drive? Naturally, I would like Win 7 to load from the ssd drive. Can I Raid 0 a traditonal hardrive with an ssd drive? Or can I only Raid drives of the same type- ssd with ssd, or disc with disc? What is trim? Much appreciated.

You are just going to destroy your SSD performance if you decide to RAID it. Just use it as a system drive, and do whatever you want with your Raptor.

The raptor would make a nice gaming drive, and yes keep the SSD as your primary system drive; so you can use TRIM.

I suggest you read a bit on what TRIM does; it is discussed on the web every day.

What do you do with your Windows 7 user account and My Documents folder? Do you move them a storage drive and then create a reference to them from the C drive (SSD)?
