About SSD-RAID0 in a Win7 desktop. Any tips?

Asked by martijn86 (401points) July 22nd, 2009

Tomorrow ‘they’ will deliver my new desktop PC. It will have 2 60GB Vertex SSD’s, set up in RAID-0. Now a couple of questions come to mind when I think ahead.

1) Windows 7 is supposed to automaticly configure when SSD is detected. Will an extra build in traditional HDD ruin that automatic config? Is there a way I can check it?
2) SSD’s have limited writes and start to wear down. Now they’ll still be faster then the fastest HDD and in RAID0 they’ll wear down slower but.. is there a way to heal (or party heal) sectors? Like writing all zero’s?
3) Do you have any tips for such a config or am I missing some important points? Please let me know, I’m completely new to SSD’s and so is the current desktop PC world.
