Hi guys,

Planning a big upgrade, going for a Gigabyte 77 board with an I5 3570K. I am getting an Agility 120gb for OS and BF3, maybe Photoshop as well, then I have two 1TB Spinpoint F3's I want to RAID 0 for datastorage and other apps/games, (its backed up always so don't care about redundancy).

I was wondering can I then add also an mSATA drive like the A-Data XM13 30GB to do Intel Smart Response but ONLY for the 2x 1TB RAID?

That would in effect give me a 120gb SSD for OS etc, the typical setup. Then also a 2TB Drive with SSD Caching.

Good idea, bad idea? all thoughts welcomed smile.gif
