    Low on SSD space HELP

    Hi
    i made the stupid decision of only buying a 60GB OCZ Agility 3 for my boot drive for my new build and 1TB Seagate Barracuda for my data drive . As i plan on installing Adobe Master collection, Microsoft Office and other large pieces of software i would probably be left with 20GB or less of storage would that decrease performance ? So i am considering selling my 60GB and buying a larger SSD what would you say should be the minimum size ?

      Re: Low on SSD space HELP

      hi I just saw on overlcokers the Adata XPG SX900 256GB which seems to have good reviews as i was also looking to maintain performance, if not increase it .

      with the caching idea do you mean to make the 1TB as my boot drive and just use SSD as a cache? will this keep up performance?

      thanks i would most probably do that once i get my new drive as i might as well plan for the long term as i know im going to be downloading a lot of programs

            Hi
            i have decided to use the SSD as a cache for the moment
            i am following these instructions ftp://europe.asrock.com/manual/raid/...se/English.pdf
            i have set the drives to RAID and made sure that it is using the Intel ports, unfortunately once i try to select the partitioned (250GB) 1TB hard drive i get an error message stating that "Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The computers hardware may not support booting the disk. Ensure that the disk controller is enabled in the computers BIOS menu"
            any idea why this is happening ?
