I also posted this on Anandtech so if you browse the forums you may have seen this already. But for those who don't...
I have built (mostly) a PC that I am using for photo, video and audio. The mobo that I have is the Asus Sabertooth X79 which has some SATA ports configured for SSD caching. My question is this; what would be the optimal config for the drives in this PC? I do have a Samsung 840 Pro as the boot/application drive (which I just discovered may have reliability issues...). Additional drives would be used for storing lots of photos, audio and video. I had initially planned on getting two 2-3TB drives but after discovering the SSD caching I wonder if I should get another SSD drive and use the caching. I do need both read and write performance if possible. Would two drives in a RAID configuration be as fast, or at least close, to an SSD cached solution?
