I am still working on my build. I was considering buying an OCZ Revo PCI-e SSD even with the cost so high. Then I found the Samsung 830 Series MZ-7PC512N/AM 2.5" 512GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive and Newegg has it for about $720 so I can have 2 of these making a terabyte of storage for less that half the cost of a comparable size OCZ. My question is this: setting a raid configuration is done in the BIOS, correct? So can I configure two of these SSD's in raid 0 to make a single 1 terabyte drive? I also have 2 WD 2 TB HDD. Can I configure these in a second raid 0 configuration to make a single 4TB data drive? If so, could I then configure the HDD raid 0 and another say 3TB HDD in a raid 1 redundancy configuration? Or am I getting too ambitious?

Thanks
