  SSD set up

  Posted by Larry Bourne on October 15, 2014 at 9:18 pm

  I’m building a PC with the following specs for 1080p/2k editing on PPro and AE CC:

  CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz
  Memory: G.Skill Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
  Storage 01: Crucial M550 256GB SSD
  Storage 02: Crucial M550 256GB SSD
  Storage 03: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM HDD
  Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 (4GB VRAM)

  I intend to do a striped RAID setup (RAID0) on the two SSDs.

  Would it be worthwhile getting a third SSD exclusively for the OS (Windows 8.1) and running a software RAID on the two other SSDs?

  Is firmware RAID an option for this configuration and if so is it in any way advantageous over the software RAID setup?
