I am extremely happy with my purchase of the Crucial M4 128G drive. Now I want to double the drive size and reap the speed increase of adding a second. If I had known how much I would enjoy it I would have bit the bullet and bought the 256G model.
Since I previously had XP 64-bit running on my HDD, I spent a lot of time getting the fresh install of Win 7, upgrading and all my applications reinstalled and running.
I would like to just clone this existing single SDD setup to the new SSD RAID0 using Acronis or similar.
I am saving images every couple of days using Acronis already to my storage HDD.
Should I be concerned when doing this with the 4K boundary alignment issue or anything else?
Is there a method/tool to check whether the alignment is correct?
I assume I should leave the BIOS setting for AHCI?
I understand TRIM will no longer apply to the RAID0 but I should be able to depend on GC for clean up.
