To RAID SSD or not to RAID SSD, that is the question!

Ok - after reading all this, looks like I would be stupid to try and RAID them. For future reference, which SSD's have the hardware garbage collection.

Tom - how are you gonna deal with your SSD's in the recent video (within the last week) where you said that you were going to RAID a load of SSD's - am I assuming that RAID card you are going to use deals with all of the garbage collection?

Does anyone else read Toms posts in thier head in the same style as Tom using using his voice?

Nope the SSD's do but its just for benching not long term use so wont really run into any problems for an afternoons work.

Only reason i havent said anything is cause i thought garbage cleanup had already been mentioned.

I've tried Raiding in the past, too much hassle when things go tits up (it will eventually especially using onboard raid).

I've never used an independent raid card but imo a single is better
