so you set a raid with one SSD and one "classic" HDD...but you installed all your games onto SSD....do you have win7 there too?

Personally I just can't fit my game on but you can use this.

Be aware it can stop you from accessing and tacking tracks.

No, I put Win7 on the HDD because I want maximum performance for my games. I let my harddrive do the regular day to day stuff, load Win 7, drivers and other programs and let the SSD "concentrate" on the games. At first I had everything on the SSD but quickly realized what a waste of expensive space it takes up even if Win7 booted up super quick and was super fast. It's not so important for me that Windows boots up 10-15 seconds faster.

P.S I have only games that I consider to need the extra boost a SSD gives them, CloD, Empire Total War, A-10 etc. Games like Mafia II and the likes don't have to be on a SSD.

I'm running CoD on an ssd, and in combination with the rest of my system I have no performance issues at all except the memory leak=ctd.
Game aent even stutter with original textures.

Same here. I have some slight micro-stuttering at very low altitude but other than that the game is very smooth. They just need to get the memory leak fixed and i'll be happy as a clam... well performance wise at least.

I wouldn't touch OCZ with a barge pole! I had to send mine back. If I were you I'd get an intel

what about a corsair force gt 120 gb 555 read 515 write?

I never used mechanical drives that spin. I have only used SSD for O/S and CoD and I rarely have shutters.

I have a Vertex 3 and I agree, junk....nothing but headaches.
You can't go wrong with Intel and I really like the Crucial M4.

I have the Crucial 300 128Mb (a year old now). I have Win7 64 bit Home Premium and all my Flight Sims on it:- CoD, FSX, X-Plane and IL-2 and have around 17Gb left. Actually I'll probablt remove X-Plane as I hardly use it.

Fast to boot and perhaps quicker to pull data for CoD - how would I know?

Very happy except for my ASUS Sabertooth mobo which is great but the Marvell 98xx controller on it won't detect the SSD on cold boot and I have to Reset each time - something I am chasing down with ASUS. I'm sure that's not the fault of the SSD and other ASUS mobos have different controllers. See what you can find out about your mobo controller.

Be sure your mobo has a SATA III (6Gb/s) port for the SSD or you are wasting your time and check the R/W times, some of the older ones are no faster than a good HDD but the figures you are quoting look good.
