    How to Set Up Samsung 950 PRO as NVME on ASUS X99-PRO?

    So, you would not expect to see anything in the NVMe section of the BIOS?

    HELP!!! I have an ASUS X99-PRO USB3.1 motherboard and a Samsung 950 PRO and I'm unable to set it up as NVMe in the BIOS. I've tried everything I can think of and that section of the BIOS remains grey. I'm able to install Windows 10 to it and then the drive appears in the BIOS as Windows Boot...

    Which Chipset for SSD RAID 0

    I could've misunderstood something I heard about the loss of Trim on Sandforce drives. I understood that is wasn't significant because of their garbage collection capabilities. If The performance of Sandforce drives decays over time without Trim then I will NOT RAID these drives.

    Which Chipset for SSD RAID 0

    Ah! Another good question. I am under the impression that Sandforce drives have good enough built in garbage collection that makes the loss of Trim inconsequential. If that is not the case then RAID 0 is not something I will pursue.

    Which Chipset for SSD RAID 0

    Good question and I think the simple answer is to eek out the maximum performance from the system/drives and to make maximum and most flexible use of the storage space. I've made two assumptions that helped make that decision. The first is that the increased reliability of SSDs mitigates the...

    Which Chipset for SSD RAID 0

    I just purchased two Corsair F240 SSDs and am planning to use them in a RAID 0 array either on the ICH10R controller on my current ASUS P6X58D Premium motherboard or on the Intel controller SATA III ports on a P67 motherboard. This drive will be my C drive and I'll use it to store the operating...
