SSD OS /program + HD for large data.
or laptop SSD + regular network backup.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. -
I have a 250gb SSD, very fast. Makes a big difference but I'm down to 100gb of free space. I might struggle with just 128gb.Originally posted by mickey View Post128GB SSD or 1TB HD for someone who does coding?Comment

You can get 1TB SSDs now.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

In my 2011 build desktop I have 2 striped 128Gb SSDs for system and regular programs (VS2012, MS Office)/games, and a 600Gb Velociraptor HDD for data and other stuff.
Also have a 3Tb Raid 5 NAS for more less-used stuff/archiving.
Also have a 1tb external HDD for backup of accounts, photos and other material I definitely don't want to lose.Last edited by Scrag Meister; 2 September 2013, 09:29.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

Most modern SSDs can saturate the SATA bus. I would never stripe two together. I'd guess you're using fake RAID rather than a 'proper' RAID controller too. Not worth the risk IMO.Originally posted by Scrag Meister View PostAnd the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.Comment

Fake as in software RAID rather than hardware RAID.Originally posted by Scrag Meister View Post
Did you do any performance testing before striping the disks together. I'd be surprised if there was much of a performance increase in doing so. The onboard RAID controllers are usually pretty rubbish compared to proper battery backed hardware controllers.And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life."
