raid 0 hardware ga-990fxa ud3 rev 4

Post by jorgecorazondeleon »

Hi:
I have implemented a hardware Raid 0 on two disks (data) wd 1Tera (2Tera) x (hardware not software)
My windows 7x 64 is installed on a SSD ocz 128 g (mode UEFI)
The problem is that the AMD chipset not support TRIM in RAID
Primocache can make the trim function in RAID 0 in SSD?


Motherboard:GA_990FXA-UD3 rev 4.0
Bios F3i
Micro: amd FX-8350
Disk1: OCZ Vector 128 g
Disk 2: WD blue 1 tera
Disk 3: wd blue 1 Tera
Memory: kingston 1600m (16 g)
Source : 750 W
Windows 7 x 64 sp1 UEFI

Welcome to the forums Jorgecorazondeleon,

PrimoCache can't modify hardware to make it support TRIM if it doesn't already.

However my experience (running an SSD RAID-0 system for 5 years using Windows XP) is that TRIM isn't necessary - modern SSDs have good enough background erasing to avoid performance issues unless you deliberately saturate them with huge (terabyte-plus) file writes. For "normal" usage, you should see little change - a slight (10% or so) performance drop as the SSD fills up (due to wear leveling) should be all.
