Precision 390 Workstation Intel RAID with SSD?
I have a Precision 390 workstation using the Intel RAID for the SATA boot
device. Is it safe to use the Intel software RAID with SSD drives? I have Windows XP installed. If the RAID is constantly doing background testing and writing to the drive, I assume that could create problems for an SSD, which has a limited number of writes available to it. I'm concerned about higher risk of data loss on an SSD if I don't use some kind of RAID. -- W |
