  1. I'm not concerned with Boot times mostly just file access times! Thanks though
  2. Niceeeee. My boot is a 1TB 7200rpm with 3 750gbs or lower hdds as backups. I have about 86% of this in video files so it's annoying constantly moving stuff around for fresh installs
  3. Well you can Rufus tool it onto a 8GB flash drive and keep that laying around for super fast installs for a later date at any point. I have one laying around for the heck of it.
  4. Sounds about right. Can't wait till I can get that myself. Rocking one 4 hdds and nothing more right now. Kinda annoying lol
  5. If you have a way to get windows onto a USB it's faster just a tip. Though it may be to late now
  6. Are you running on a 256GB one or something? lol. I don't need all my stuff downloaded all the time..
  7. The reason you do this is windows tends to be weird with which hardrive it picks, so it's best to unplug all the ones except the one you want it on.
  8. I am aware all data will be lost. I have backup HDDs for my data. I don't know anything about a raid card as I don't have any extra hardware. My BIOS is in IDE mode. I was only asking about AHCI bc I thought it was better? These aren't IDE hdds anymore afterall.
  9. When installing the OS, unplug the HDD. Make sure the SSD is in Port0 on your motherboard. Other than that, as long as you point to where you want programs installed you should be good. I don't know if theirs bios particular issues as I don't know anything about your motherboard.
  10. I read it as him going from hdd to ssd for some reason. As in "upgrade" hence the confusion. I am aware steam lets you do this I just haven't had a use for it yet lol.
  11. I was planning on booting from this RAID0 so yes this does matter. So which then? Does ACHI/IDE mode matter?
  12. Running both at same time? Yeah sorry I didn't catch that. Welp there goes my help.
  13. For steam that's unnecessary. Simply backup the "Steamapps" folder, install steam on the new machine/ssd, close steam, and copy the folder to the same location you originally took it from. Then when you click play on a game in your library it'll work. It won't ask you to point to the files at all, it'll just work. No creating folders just replace the new empty folder on the fresh install.
