I have a Gateway FX 6801 with the original Hatachi 1Tb drive, I put two Samsung 500 Gb in raid 0 using the Intel Storage Manager. Just got the Intel SSD last night which I would like to put in, nice package since it comes with cloning software and a Usb drive holder for the cloning process and an adaptor bracket for the SSD. Right now the 2 raid drives are in frount bays, the SSD when placed on the adaptor will not plug into the connector, it needs to be shifted to the right to plug in. Possibly there is room inside and a connector to place the SSD inside.
Right now the advanced feature in the bios is set to Raid and I'm using the Raid array as the OS, there is also an OS Win 7 on the original hard drive. I want to use the SSD with the OS as the main drive since it should be the fastest. The raid array gets reads about 260Mb and writes of 230Mb and I'd like to keep it if possible, but if necessary I could use the Hatachi as a storage drive I think.
Problems are the bios has to be in the raid mode for the raid disks to work, SSD require AHIC mode, but the Hatachi drive works which is not in raid mode. Just opened notepad on this drive, drive E.
Open to any and all thoughts on this, I'll probably open it tonight.
