Alienware M18x - SSD addition (2x 750gb RAID0 & mSATA) questions...
Hi All,
Finally received an alienware . The current HDD setup is:
"1.5TB RAID 0 (2x750GB 7200RPM) + 80GB mSATA SSD Caching"
I want to have:
- 256gb SSD as the OS drive
- 2x 750GB RAID0 as the storage HDD
- 80gb mSATA as the caching for the HDD (max is 64gb...so leaves about 10gb usable space)
=============
MY QUESTIONS ARE:
- So I put the new SSD into the HDD0 slot so SATA3 speeds?
- I then have the existing 750gb drives in bays HDD1 and HDD2? I want to keep these in RAID0 configuration
- Can I image existing install and then restore on the new SSD or do I need to do a fresh install
- Any suggestions for the 10gb usable mSATA... eg if using for paging file will that get speed advantages?
- Do I need to make any BIOS changes for the above apart from setting SSD as the boot disk?
- Anything else I am missing?
Thanks in advance for any help.
