Help
Im looking add a main OS drive to a gigabyte GA-z68a-D3H-B3 motherboard. I already have an OCZ Agility 3 60MB and would like to add a Crucial M4 128GB as the OS drive. OCZ controller is sandforce SF 2281 and Crucial M4 is Marvel.
I need to do more research on RAID, but is this a good combination? I like the reliability record of the Crucial, and the OCZ came with the kit. Can these 2 SSDs work together, with or without RAID?
Thanks for any advice.

I wouldn't raid them. General rule of thumb for raid is the raid drives size defaults to the smallest drive. so if you mirrored them it would be a 60Gb drive and if you striped them it would be a 120Gb drive at the end.
Just use the 128Gb drive for OS and use the OCZ as storage for games or anything that needs speed not size.

My first Computer had a Whopping 16K of memory @ 0.89MHz
My first hard drive held 20 Megabytes and never got filled up.
