P.S. Samsung said not recommended because that RAID so-called controller isn't even designed to work with decent SSDs

<div>
Convert the drives into Dynamic via Windows Disk Management and build there mirror on volumes. This is a software RAID1 then for you.

I had a Samsung Evo Pro SSD drive as my System drive. When it failed I found out that my backups images were bad. Major pain ensued. <br />
<br />
I was thinking about getting a second SSD and configuring them as mirrors but Samsung said this was not a recommended configuration. <br />
<br />
I want to go back to a mirrored System Disk but I was wondering if hybrid disks might be able to be configured as a mirror. <br />
<br />
If it is possible would the performance improvement be noticeable. Would it be worth it?<br />

I have Intel Raid on my 2008 Gigabyte Motherboard <br />

Thanks in advance<br />

Can you put hybrid drives in a raid 1 configuration

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.

Storage Hardware

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
