NikoDG Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Does anyone know if it is possible to put hybrid drives in a Raid array? Edited December 20, 2011 by NikoDG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonerboy779 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Better option save heaps of money and get more performance with a raid 5 or 10 array with a 60gb SSD using SRT on a sandy bridge z68 mobo. That definately works and cost a hell of a lot less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonerboy779 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Srt - smart response technology, it is ment to be sb efficent SSD caching tech incorporated into z68 mobos and can also be used on single HDDs or RAID arrays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have to be a Z68 mobo? I was hoping to go with a Rampage IV Extreme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonerboy779 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 No idea if its available for ivy bridge. My assumption is yes it will but hit up Google for x79 and srt you wil get your answer quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoDG Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 And here we go... http://www.thinkdigit.com/Parts-Peripherals/ASUS-announces-X79-boards-with-Thermal-Armor_7810.html ASUS SSD Caching: The Intel Smart Reponse Technology (SRT) technology will not be present on the E-Series of processors. To give users this feature found in the Z68 chipset based boards, ASUS SSD Caching has been enabled on all boards. It has a set of advantages over the Intel SRT such as quick setup, no limit on the SSD capacity (there was an upper limit of 64 GB in Intel SRT caching) and you do not need to reinstall Windows for setting up SSD caching. The onboard Marvell 9128 SATA controller is a dedicated controller for ASUS SSD caching. Advantages of the SSD caching feature includes quicker access of most used files, faster data transfer and faster booting up time. <3 you ASUS!!!

Perfect but will it work with raid? I didnt see that mentioned.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoDG Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Oh, this website has it's information mixed up a little too after a closer look. It says the Marvel controller acts as the dedicated controller for the SSD's, but the ROG Rampage IV doesn't have that controller, but the Sabertooth and P9X79 both do. So if I want SRT I will have to do a minor downgrade on my motherboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Yes, I use SRT with 2 HDD's in RAID 1 and 4 HDD's in RAID 10. You can't do it with Marvell controllers, only Intel controllers, hence Intel SRT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonerboy779 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 In an hours time when I knock off at work I will take a look for ya. I am interested now. It is interesting that such a feature is dropped in sb-e. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
