I am going to have to do a computer upgrade fairly soon here, currently I have 2 160GB intel G2's and a 2tb spindle for storage. One of the G2's has my os and such, the other has most of my games installed on it. Its getting a little bit low for space though and I plan on getting another SSD (probably the evo 1GB)


So for the new system I could use a G2 for the OS and use the 1tb for game installs, raid0 the two G2's for the OS and use 1tb for game installs, or use the new SSD and not bother with either of G2's. Any advice for what will be the best performance while still keeping things relatively hassle free? (things like running trim manually on the raid 0 are not that big of a hassle but would ideally be nice to avoid, computers are slowly becoming more something I would rather have just work than needing constant playing with to keep optimal)
 
I'll chime in on what I would do. Option 1. I'm not a big fan of RAID 0 at all..so I would install OS on one of the g2's, 1tb for game installs.
 
I have the itch all the time, it just goes away before I ever set it up 😉

I usually end up giving away my older hardware to friends, but none of them are nearly as much of a tech junky as me and I don't even know if anyone would want to deal with a smaller OS drive in their systems, seems like a shame not to make use of both, but unless I raid them I cant see myself using more than one
