SSDs in Raid Question

spy2520 · Apr 5, 2010

I know Windows 7 recognizes SSDs and changes its behavior accordingly, i.e. not thrashing the drive. But Does it still have all those SSD optomizations if the SSDs are a raid array? I already know trim doesnt work...

the optimisations are basically turning off scheduled defrags, readyboost and superfetch.

so i need to do all that stuff manually right? Or does windows magically know?

it should know, but i'd check manually as well.

oh i see now. In the defragmenter schedule it lists all the disks as scheduled to run but the raid array isnt even on the list. cool.

Trim does work in Raid now with the new drivers.

spy2520 · Apr 5, 2010

where are these drivers? I thought new drivers were just released that allowed trim on an SSD + a raid array, but not SSDs in raid.

Mussels · Apr 5, 2010

the drivers are RAID controller specific. intel only, i beleive

TeXBill · Apr 5, 2010

Sorry yes your right Mussels, I have 2 intel X25 40gig in Raid 0 and the new drivers work for them.

spy2520 · Apr 5, 2010

i am running intel SSDs on an ICH9r so they should work for me i guess. Same configuration actually. Newegg sale.

TeXBill · Apr 5, 2010

yep they should work just go to intel's web site and they have them there.

spy2520 · Apr 5, 2010

the RST 9.6 drivers? I have those so i guess i'm all set.
