Let me first list my HDD'S & SSD inventory
I have 6 HDD'S 4 of the 1TB Each so that's 4TB & 2 more @ 500GB = 1TB= (in total 5TB) in HDD storage.
I also have 2 SSD's @ 120GB each = 240GB
....So
If anyone has ever dabbled in home studio recording and on top of that uses "Virtual Instruments" (not the cheap kind either) will know that you need a heck of a lot of storage space. Virtual instruments alone can have a massive sound library and if you have a lot of instruments, then it is a good idea to buy storage. Especially how cheap it is these days. The way I have it set up currently is, on one SSD I have win7 and this past Sunday I purchased win 8 and put it on my second SSD. I labeled both accordingly.
My current setup for my HDD's is setup as the following. I have a 1TB HDD that is labeled "Dedicated to sound library's and drum loops" the next one is a 1TB labeled dedicated to studio recordings. Then another 1TB labeled "location backup" (backup is done by crashplane, both online and physical backup) then I have a 500GB labeled "saved documents & videos"
So I'm left with 1TB HDD & 1 500GB HDD.
My question is this. First, is it possible (if so would it make sense) to Raid configure 2 SSD's? And is my current setup any good? I'm trying my best to keep as many installed programs on other HDD's and keep my SSD'S with the OS only. I'm just curious how you guys would do it. Without a doubt it's you guys here on this forum give the best ideas and the smartest of all on windows and all things computer tech. Thank you for taking the time reading this and appreciate anyone's advice. Cheers my friends.
