Hi I would like to know if its ppossible to perfom a raid array on my hp g62 451sa as id like to convert the disc bay for aanother hdd and use raid. does anyone know if it can be done?
SSDs only use a couple of watts under load and less than 1W in idle. If anything you're going to see battery life increase because you won't be accessing the HDD as often.I was thinking more of putting my hdd in one of those bay converters, do you think I will notice a significant power drain using 2 drives at once?
Quite a few people at work here do that but haven't heard of anyone trying RAID. I was considering it myself but with no RAID-0 + TRIM support in Sandybridge I gave it a miss.For me personally, I don't see much point in optical drives in laptops these days, so I'd just swap it out for a HDD converter and use that with a large mechanical disk for storage instead.
