Thanks for the advice.
I haven't bought the SSD yet. I was trying to decide which one to buy. I was originally going to get a 64gb ssd and use the caching from the z68. After doing some research though it sounds like I'll get much better performance by just getting an SSD big enough to hold my OS and any applications I want and booting to that instead of smart caching or w/e.
The SSD I'm considering atm is an OCZ Agility 3 120gb SandForce http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0364780
I'll be sure to check those forums to see if there's any compatibility issues with that one and my motherboard.
I've never had multiple hard drives before - I'm assuming the installation is pretty painless and I'll want to put them in ACHI instead of RAID?
The first link is pretty good and I'll be following that when I put everything together. |
before you install OS, switch your data mode to AHCI, they are usually defaulted to IDE.
also if you go with OCZ, you want vertex 3, agility is a stepdown, but I'd recommend mushkin over any OCZ.
