Hi all,
I have a G750JW-RB71-CB which comes with 2x1TB HDDs and 16GB RAM. I recently installed a Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD into Port 0 and moved the HDD that was there into the CD/DVD drive (ODD). I use Linux the vast majority of the time (Windows only when I'm absolutely forced to!) so I set up Linux on the SSD and I have Windows on one of the HDDs. (and also right now Linux also on the other HDD but as soon as my SDD is set up I'm deleting that and using it for storage).
I keep hearing about RAID-0 and what wonders it can do for improving performance and etc.
This thread in particular talks about setting up RAID-0 for Linux and Windows.
I notice, however, that everyone talking about RAID-0 says that you need to have 2 identical drives (in terms of size, at least), so I wouldn't be able to do RAID on the SSD, is this correct? If I can't RAID for Linux, would I at least be able to RAID-0 the 2x1TB HDDs I have for Windows? How would I do this without negatively impacting the SSD?
FInally, do you have any suggestions on how to improve performance on Linux SSD? I have 16GB RAM so should I set up a RAM Disk for it? I'm also going to enable TRIM on it, so I know that.
I'm just sad at how
the thread I linked before has read/write speeds at 1.1 GB/s! How can I get that on my Linux?? That would be amazing and I wish it could be done! Best performance possible is what I'm after, 100%.
Thanks!
