Bugii Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hello,I'm thinking of getting SSD as 3rd drive for my GT780DXRFrom my research I've found there is a ODD caddy bay available - this will allow me to remove DVD drive and plug in 3rd hdd.Anybody tried it?My concerns are: - is the ODD port SATA 2 or SATA 3 ?Is it possible to keep the two HDDs in raid0 while having SSD as boot drive ?It seems that I have to turn on AHCI mode in bios for SSD, but this will break my raid obviously.Anybody played with raid config utility ?Is it possible to config it this way ? (SSD as single boot drive, 2xHDD in raid 0 as secondary partition)Thx for any suggestions and tips.[Edit:]getting a bad feeleing about this...the more I read about this "fake intel raid" in MSI notebooks...Looks like this RAID does not support TRIM on SSD.So its either SSD+2XHDD in AHCI or RAID.

Bios Modder Klem Posted June 12, 2014 Bios Modder Share Posted June 12, 2014 Of course it is possible. All SATA ports (include ODD port) in this laptop is SATA2. Just insert your SSD in ODD adapter and insert it in laptop. In bios you need use RAID option(for your HDD raid 0 and for SSD). All SSD nice work when in bios enabled RAID option.

This is a BIG problem.Without trim, the SSD would be very slow after a few months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bios Modder Klem Posted June 12, 2014 Bios Modder Share Posted June 12, 2014 We dont need have unlocked bios. But we need to change Intel RST(Intel Rapid Storage Technology) part in bios to new version(with some modificatons). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
