I agree 100% , this ssd raid is way overkill, hehe kinda knew that going into the build, but at that point i had gotten every thing I wanted and was still with in my given budget. Kinda wish i had just gotten a 120 GB, and used the extra money and gotten the H100 instead of the CM V6 GT, not that i don't like the cooler, and it's performed as expected, at the time i had reservations about going with liquid cooling. plus had i gotten the h100 i would have been more inclined to get more ram, I was limited to using 2 slots do to the size of the V6GT, and even with using just 2 slots its a really tight fit, and the Sniper ram seemed to be the lowest profile ram @ 2133. ha and getting the h100 would have avoided my other thread about removing my cpu cooler for moving.

If you spin the V6 around it should fit fine. Otherwise it's only slightly less effective if you take off one fan like I did then you can use all four slots with your cooler.

Excellent SSD...very fast, like all SSDs. OCZ makes very fast SSDs, along with Corsair. Intel and Samsung have more reliable ones, but all the major vendors make good ones.

Very good SSD and the controller is getting better every time they update it.......

Untill i see a need for more than 8 GB I'll leave well enough alone. thus far no matter what I've thrown at this system its taken. Then again when i built it i knew it way way more PC than I needed. planned on no less than 2 years before i upgraded, taking into account i was upgrading my Evga gtx 580 to the new 680 ( ty Step UP) . only thing i really want for my pc now is new speakers, these creative T7700 7.1 surround speakers on on its last leg, all the satalites work, but i think some of the connections on the sub are starting to go, i lose my left center some times, and now my center channel seems to be gone i've considered taking it apart but don't want to totally kill it lol. I've had em since 2003 :O and they dont even make em any more.

i have been told that i would need two ssd drives to operate one as my main Operating system drive ? is this true ?

[Zygomorphic]

I don't think so. You need an SSD to install Windows on, a second is nice for additional fast storage...if you have the money, but otherwise, no, you should not need a second SSD.

Ok ...then one it is .. thanks for you're reply

A single SSD is enough for OS... unless, you want to RAID way...

I use one Samsung 830 256GB drive for my OS. But before that I was quite happy with a 60GB drive as my OS and application drive. LOL did mean I had to manage disc space really carefully.
