I have 2 of the 128GB samsung SSDs. Firstly is there a way to get TRIM support for these?
Second, I would like to use these together on a single 2.5" adapter. RAID 0 would be great. Does such an adapter exist? There is plenty of room for 2 of these to be stacked one on top of the other and for the associated jacks/plugs, but I'm not sure it exists. It would be OK if the RAID controller just showed the drive as a single drive. I'm trying to speed up an older machine further by using both drives instead of one. It only has a single 2.5" drive bay.
Thank you.

Re: Samsung SSD questions
More information needed. Which 128GB Samsung SSD? What OS? What computer?proaudioguy wrote:I have 2 of the 128GB samsung SSDs. Firstly is there a way to get TRIM support for these?
Sounds like a great idea, but unfortunately it is not technically possible. If there were a way for the drives to be stacked and connected to the same SATA port, there would be no advantage in RAID 0, as they would both share that same single bandwidth. Also, the SATA specification does not support two drives on the same connector.proaudioguy wrote:Second, I would like to use these together on a single 2.5" adapter. RAID 0 would be great.

Assuming we are talking about the w700ds in your sig, the best solution would to put the SSDs in their own bay. Then you could do a software RAID 0 using Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
