Hmmmm, this is strange. I just remembered that I have already put two 500GB SSDs for the Host OS to this server, they are in Intel Raid 1, directly from MB, and Windows looks like it notices that there are SSDs connected to it. Is it possible that Intel Raid is able to pass TRIM command for Raid 1?

Yes.. I think TRIM wouldn't be possible with motherboard RAID.. But I was talking about the second option. Creating logical volumes in Windows and mirroring them inside the OS.

Thanks for your answer kanewolf. I would rather have everything on SSDs, since there are two VMs running on it, with 30 users working at the same time in one of the VMs, so it would be better to have SSDs. The server now has 10 core Intel Xeon E5-2630v4 with 32GB of RAM, but when I will be...

Hello, recently my HP server with SAS drives died and I had to create a copy using 3x WD RED in RAID 5, there are two Hyper-V VMs running off of those HDDs, one for Terminal services, other serving as MSSQL server with 10 heavy load databases, I think I don't have to mention that the write...

Thanks for your extensive answer. You made good poing considering clock speeds, kinda forgot about it.. I chose a CPU with more cores (although with lower clock speed) because there will be like 10 concurrent users connected using RDP, running apps which are not that speed demanding. Not sure if...
