UNSOLVED
SSD System + HDD Raid 0
Dear all,
Here my question : i got a samsung 850 pro that i have mounted on my alienware aurora r4 and i installed window7 on it, until here everything is ok.
I have two 1To HDD disk and i would like to mount a Raid 0 for data(no need to have suggestion or remark like, i if one disk fall you loose all data, i know what im doing ;) )
my bios is setted to AHCI for the SSD and i know that i have to change the setting to RAID to build my Raid.
The problem comes here, my system can't boot in RAID mod and it's normal, and i can't build my raid in AHCI mod, it's like need a licence to find a job but having a job to pay a licence.
I was wondering there is a solution for that.
Thanks ;)
ok thanks for your answer
if i understand correctly you suggest to only use the raid configuration, if i do that it will work agree but..
best practice of ssd says "configure Sata port as AHCI to enable TRIM and allow high speed transfert rate"
Does Raid mod also support trim?
i want the best performance and speed access time for my system.
If raid mod deliver less performance than AHCI this option is not for me unfortunately.
If there is no difference i will reinstall my system.
Thx for help ;)Alienware - Rodrigo

Hello,
The Raid 0 configuration does not have trim support but apparently, there is a way you can still set this up. Click here to view another thread from Tom's Hardware forum that discusses this topic.

Hello,
From what I understand, you have an SSD as the primary drive and Windows 7 was installed with an AHCI Sata configuration. So if you want to have a Raid 0 configuration with 2 1TB Hard Drives and use the SSD as the primary drive, you will need to change the Sata mode to Raid and reinstall Windows 7 from the boot mode by pressing the F12 button at the beginning boot process.
From there you can boot directly from the disk or USB drive and follow the steps to reinstall Windows 7. If you want to continue using the SSD as the primary drive, you would need to select this drive and create the partitions when installing Windows. Please let me know if you have any questions.
