Hello first time posting new to this site.
I am currently building a new sytem as a photoshop workstation and gaming( got to have my swtor and eve online)
Cm Storm Trooper
Coasiar ax1200 (over kill but getting tired of not enough juice)
Plextor dvd rw
Plextor blu ray burner
2 hypers x 120gb ssd
2 wd 2tb black drives
Phantek red cpu/heatsink cooler
i7 3280 or 3930 ( getting one this weekend)
msi big bang xpower II coming tomorrow
will get some LP memory 32gb to start
ok the ssd are going to sata 1 & 2 for raid 1 setup more wear and tear on them but i hate backuping stuff.
The problem is i want to raid 1 the 2 WD but the only raid ports are 3g. Ports 7-10 are 6gb but no raid.
I know they wont ever hit 6gb speed but should i get a different board that does raid the 2 wd or leave them in the 3gb ports?
Is there are real world difference sticking them in the 3gb or 6gb port? For a raid? I know indivually not much difference as a single drive but raid heard u can get over 200.
Thanks for any help
