    hi guys
    at the moment i have a vertex 2 ssd 120gb but as we all know its not compatible with intel RSSD drivers and its not sata 3, so im thinking of buying the intell 510 sata 3 120gb .
    no my question is shall i keep both and run then in RAID or AHCI , or sell the vertex 2 and just keep a standart HDD as media drive??

    Not enough space if you ask me. Sell the vertex and have the 510 and a large HDD imo......

    Agreed. If you try to run them in RAID, I believe the 510 will only run at SATA II speeds.
