I've been using my SSD for almost a year now, and I never did a special format whilst holding hands with a penguin??

You missing out man. Penguins got such soft hands

i hope you at least followed some sort of guide when installing.

This is the one I use and its the best

Druk if you really have to use caching instead of an OS drive then follow this

Still say a system drive is way better

I agree a system drive would probably be better, I have too many games and programs. All my data is on a separate 1TB drive and my main 500GB drive is full to the brim with software. So if I only put my main stuff on the SSD then most of my stuff will still be slow.

Thanks, I'm going to use this guide.

I'm still wondering if I shouldn't just transfer my OS to the 2TB drive instead of re-installing.

I use my SSD for windows, bf3 and COD - obviously the things I want to boat / load quickly. Everything else installs to my sata 6g.

I heard you the first time.

 

[Reaper84]

No the first time he was boating the second he was booting. lols

I would have OS and your most used games on the SSD, the rest on the hdd. You can move games in steam from hdd to ssd. I do it all the time

 

[MalcolmF]

Jeeze FFS you guys really need to talk about something else sitting @ home reading this making me feel like I'm @ work

I LIKE that motherboard! Very sexy! And it goes nicely with my Xonar sound card which is black and gold. Now I just need a black and gold GPU.

Yo I had a struggle. On that link you gave Pest, that noob says to set it to RAID from the start. Ha, 4 hours later I managed to install windows by setting it to AHCI first and then switching to RAID after installation.

Glad you like it, why u running raid?

 

[IzZzy]

Raid? I run Doom

I can like to be boating!

 

[kyton]

ROFL. Doom, Penguins. IzZzy. U still got Brain Freeze from ur holiday.

Glad you like it, why u running raid?

The main hdd and ssd needs to be in raid to use the caching function. In the end the caching partition on the ssd is max 64Gb, so I had 55Gb left to make another partition where I will put BF3. What I don't understand is 64 + 55 is not 128? :wtf: Where did my other 9gig go?

 

[kyton]

You will always loose 10% of the drive when it is partitioned.

I would have stuck with ssd as primary , then hdd as secondary, no caching at all.

Druk, reformat and redo your rig properly, like a pro, not a noob.
