Does he not look like Brian the Electrician?

I'll look into it. Thanks!

I need the RAID for a data dump I'll do in Windows Bash. Docker cannot use any drive except the Primary Drive. I need it for my DL project. Thanks for the advice though.

But that option won't be able during Windows install though. I need a bootable RAID.

How do I setup a bootable SATA RAID (10 preferably) on the MSI B350M PRO-VDH? I'll use Primocache to set my M.2 SATA 128G SSD as a cache for the entire RAID of 4x WD Blues

Run SMART tests on StoreMI and see Windows give up faster than my parents expectations about my future.

You can always try Aliexpress. I bought one and it's going well enough. I'd recommend a Fenvi card.

Thanks for the answers.

HWINFO64 has been my go to for some time now

Is there an aluminium/aluminum GPU waterblock for the Zotac GTX 1060 6GB AMP! Edition graphics card. I’m trying to look into the EK Fluid Gaming’s A240G. (https://www.ekfluidgaming.com/ek-kit-a240g) Here’s the link for the card: https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/zotac-geforce-gtx-1060-amp-edition

Thanks for that.

How do I make the SSD as a fast tier? Do I add it to the pool in the beginning? Because Windows only give four RAID levels.

That would be the easiest thing I could do, but I really would like to have at most two volumes. The PC will be handled by others (admittedly not as thorough as me), and will not care where to install apps and where to put required data. It just isn't worth the time trying to make them understand, so I'd like to manage it on my own. I'd prefer if it all was in one single volume.

So I have the following drives installed on my PC Plextor PX-128S3G Kingston SUV400S37120G HGST HTS541010A9E680 WDC WD10EZEX-21WN4A0 The first one is an M.2 SATA SSD having 128GB of space, the second one is a 2.5" SATA SSD of 120GB. The third is a 1TB laptop drive I salvaged of my Laptop, and the fourth one is a 1TB WD Blue HDD. What will be the optimal use case for my Windows install? I have all important data backed up already and am ready for a clean install. The problem with building a bootable RAID 0 with the two SSDs is that they use different controllers and RAIDXpert2 does not let me create an array for them. Also, I cannot boot into the legacy manager by pressing Ctrl+R or Ctrl+I at POST. I was thinking about a single drive install and then striping data among the drives, but it would be useless as the SSD would be held back by the HDD. Moreover, RAID is mostly not preferred due to software problems and increased boot times due to recalculation of array parity. I can install my OS on one drive and use symlinks for all software I need, but that renders one SSD as redundant, and I'd really appreciate it if I had just one Volume, but am willing to compromise upto two drives (one for OS and other for applications). I use some programs that need to be installed on C drive (like VS2017, iTunes etc.) A JBOD can be used but I still am limited by the controller on my motherboard. I'd prefer if there was no need to buy a RAID Controller as I am out of PCIe slots. I did have a license for the Enmotus FuzeDrive for AMD, but I had to refund it because SMART monitoring tools would cause Windows to crash as the virtual AHCI controller did not play well with software like HWINFO64. I have attached the Driver Controller Information, if anyone requires the data. TL;DR Bought a bunch of storage, have jack idea about how to use them. Driver Controller Information.txt

:thumbsup: Will do that. Thinking about using the corsair spec 4 instead of the cm force 500
