Is 1 SSD better than 2xVelociraptors (raid0)?

FYI, TRIM support has nothing to do with the RAID controller. It's the drives themselves. Glad you like your new drive :) Care to post a couple benchies?

In a RAID situation, the controller itself is presenting a virtual disk drive to Windows, so in an SSD RAID setup, the controller needs to support TRIM or it won't be happening.

Me emailing Areca support said:
Hi, I'm considering the purchase of this card to run 3 SSDs in RAID 0. I would like to know if the card supports TRIM with SSDs in RAID 0. If not, are there plans for a firmware update to support this feature?

Thanks.

Dear Sir/Madam,

currently our controllers do not support SSD TRIM, and also no confirmed plan on added this feature yet.
sorry for the inconvenience.
