    Standard stuff,

    Main OS/App drive to be the MX-500 in RAID-0 (currently running 2x128gb SSD in RAID-0)
    Storage Drive to be the WD 6TB (256mb cache)

    Product links

    WD6003FZBX
    MX500

    Now, please do wish my luck as I will need to copy an entire 2TB HDD to the new 6TB HDD, and then write-zeros to the old drive prior to recycling.

    Not sure what to do with the old SSD's I got, probably charity, any ideas?

    ninja edit: I forgot to mention, I placed the order yesterday directly with the manufacturers and they both arrived this morning, delivered free of charge...who needs amazon? :)

    Samurai edit: I also use the MX500 for my PS4 Pr0, solid (no pun) performer, highly recommended for consoles.

    Use those old SSDs as cache drives.
    Good luck!

    Thanks bud - not sure if I have enough S6G ports on ym mother board for using the 128's as cache drives, but it's an interesting point, thanks!

    I write zeros with a hammer. Every hit is a zero. :D
    (Takes 5 minutes to complete, at worst ;))

    I found out Zoz has the same hobby as me, but on a whole different level:



    Watch and learn. :D

    Btw.:
    What's wrong with the 2tb drive so you want to dispose it? 2tb is still more than most of my friends have in total in their rigs.
