The 4790k CPU should come out this week so I might get to build this coming weekend. I was wondering with the 10gb/s bus behind the sata ports should I get 2 256GB SSDs and raid 0 them?
You can if you want to. The benchmarks would be pretty insane, but you would not be able to feel a difference in speed yourself. All solid state drives are fast enough now that they feel the same, what matters is reliability between brands. Look at the insane speeds of one of my drives, yet it feels no feels no faster than my oldest SSD plugged into a SATA2 port: If I cant tell a difference between that and a regular SSD with no tweaks, then I dont think you will be able to tell the difference between 200MB/s and 400MB/s speed
Thats alot of movie Drives =] Q, just get something like new Crucial mx100 series SSD 512gb@200$ http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148821&cm_re=mx100-_-20-148-821-_-Product

some moron at my job almost sold one last week when they came in at work ... he saw em and tried to sell it ... instant fire
I just happened to see this today on a "real world" performance test of drives: Ya it is slightly "cherry picked" showing the Crucial's in such a bad light when other tests will show them as good, I just came across it and thought it was pretty crazy that these more recent Crucial drives could have such serious random slowdowns during use at various times. It may be a deficiency in the Marvel controller they use.
