Expensive way to reduce loading times

[Igg]

My load time is already instant with 2x X-25 Intel SSD in Raid 0. Why bother with any other inane solutions?

Or you could get the barn burner that I have

How is the SSD holding up in RAID?
From what I've read, you cannot run TRIM in RAID.

I'm curious, as I'm interested in two larger SSD's, probably X25-M's in RAID for both warcraft and my OS.

My X-25s were G1 so it doesn't support trim anyway BUT it does have internal garbage collection that runs indepedant of any hardware configuration. To date, I've noticed 0 performance degradation, I just ran HD tune again and it gave me pretty much the same #s as the one posted above (which was taken when it was a new raid set with a fresh set of drives).

What raid controller are you using? Integrated Intel or something more fancy?

You do not need a fancy dedicated controller for RAID 0. The integrated one will work just fine.

Nice job thinking outside of the box! sorry to kinda go off on my own question, but dont want to make another forum to busy up the site..

Im looking to buy a SSD for my comp as my hard drive right now is 40 bucks from Bestbuy lol..
My loading times are sometimes very annoying especially right when i turn on my computer-----> wow
what to u guys recommend for 5 boxing, nice and smooth. (nothing over the top needed).

SATA 6Gbs SSD's are already in stores some places, they are more expensive but also faster.

If you were to buy one now anyway, Intel X25-M 80Gb is what most would recommend.

I used the standard ICHR10 intel controller on my Asus p6t, though i'm nearing the 600mb/s cap for that controller
