As the title says, I just ordered two Samsung 840 Pro's, planning to put them in RAID-0, and this will be the first RAID setup I've done. I'm wondering if there's any tips or tricks I might need to know.
To get the best performance out of them, what steps should I follow? I read a lot about updating the firmware on the SSD's, and getting specific driver versions for things like the SATA RAID driver, and such.
How exactly should I go about doing things like that. Should I connect both drives as Slave Drives before setting up the RAID Array, and update their firmware that way?
I also read something about doing a Secure Erase, though I'm not sure how to do it, or when to do it, as I've never performed one before, even on my SSD's I own now.
I'm just looking for the best possible steps to set this up the correct way.
Thanks for any help!
