Good Day to All,

 

Im looking to add change my standard boot HDD to an SSD and I was wondering what the best method (other than a very expensive HP PCIe device) would be. I was looking to add in something like a Samsung Pro SSD, but is it better to install this on the SAS controller, the SCU, or in one of the 2 SATA connectors on the board?

I plan to keep 2x 1TB HDD on the SAS as mirrored drives for back up protection.

 

I run CFD type applications on the system, which while CPU core and Memory intensive, it does help with fast disk transfer rates for case file setup, etc.

 

Any advice would be greatly appriciated
