Need help on new rig

[gaoxing84]

Is there really a lot ppl out there raid two SSD?


SSD is damn fast to my knowledge, getting raid 0, will it really improve a lot?


SSD hardly spoilt, which makes me think, is raid 1 necessary...? Yes it may spoil but what are the odds man..

i feel that alot people do RAID 0 on SSD are for benchies or have too much money to spend or are super enthusiast.
SSD is itself is already blazing fast and responsive already

RAID 1 is a little unnecessary unless you have super important files that you cannot live without.

SSD failure rate quite low i think due to its non-moving parts nature.

Just to correct u a bit, SSDs do fail, but less likely than HDDs. And SSDs die by the sudden death method, which means that all data in the failing SSD is lost forever, unlike HDD where u can still use brute-force method to retrieve back some data on the failing HDD. Hence the decision by some to RAID 1 the SSD. But whether to spend the money to buy the RAID card and extra SSD or not is up to individual decision.

i say failure rate quite low. never say won't fail. haha anyway always see your nick in bf4. same nick right?

i will do RAID 1 on HDD though. cause all my files are in HDD. haha SSD is more for OS and Programs.

Yes you will need a wireless adapter or pcie. You got to check on your internet. Is it fibre broadband with dual band router. If not can get a single band wireless.

Most probably yours are just cable broadband.

If so then just get the TPLink N150 USB Wireless adapter ~ $18.

 

[gaoxing84]

anyway if homeplug need what adapter to connect?

Just 2 home plug adapter and 2 unused wall point. But it's a hit or miss. Depends on your house wiring and the wire age
Old cables will give problems.

My house since 97. I managed to find 2 wall point that gives me 80+ mbps out of 100mbps. Sometimes even hit 100mbps

R9 290 the one you chose is a ref cooler. Non ref cooler is all $600 and above.

Buy SSD from amazon instead. You easily save $50.
