  1. i doubt it. Too expensive. Everyone wants them but nobody wants to pay for them. Then you are talking about the bolts...nothing except copper likes to play nice with copper so those also have to be copper...and nobody wants to pay for that many copper bolts.

    Aluminum is GREAT. You will never in your life be able to tell or even measure the difference for this application. Unless it is the color you are after i wouldn't worry about it.

    The bolts that are 98.8% copper "Silicon Bronze" ones seem good for bolting to copper, and the much more expensive ones 99.3% Copper Beryllium are great too.

  2. I'm running two 128's striped right now, even in game load times, the difference might be like 1 second, if that.

    This is two 128 gig M4's in RAID 0

    My other Z77 board hit 930ish, I see no difference in load times. That Samsung should hit around 550, I doubt there will be much of a difference in RAID or not.

    That's some pretty horrible write speed. When purchasing SSD drives make sure to look at the INCOMPRESSIBLE write speed benchmarks.

    A quality single SSD like the 500GB (or 750GB or 1TB) Samsung Evo can do 500mb/sec seq write (incompressible). When 30 mins of uncompressed 1080p30 video takes up 300gb you can really appreciate the speed of striped SSD's ;)

  3. damn, i should have consulted with you before i started!

    the 1TB is the shit. This is the internet, the place where no matter how badass something is, SOMEONE will find a way to say something negative about it. (you didn't say anything "negative" but you are implying that i did something wrong with the "other then that" comment. I saw you double posted your opinion on what you "would have done" on FB but i deleted it. No need to tell me 2 times what you would have done when i don't even care what you would have done the first time you posted :D thanks anyway though but i got full control of this project.

    You can always drop in another 1TB in the future then stripe em, no harm done in not doing it at the start :)
