Is it advisable to move the SSD to the Marvell 6 Gb/s port? Can I simply plug it in or will I have to reformat and set up the RAIDS?

It depends on your SSD, but generally it will profit from the 6Gb/s port and yes, you can simply plug it in without needing to setup your raids again.

Am I benefitting from the RAID 0 setup on the 6 Gb ports? Should I separate the drives?

Yes, it makes them faster. If you have covered the backups, then I see no benefit to break them out to single disks.

I am having stability issues. Frequent lockups and crashes.

Now that worries me a bit. Can you tell us what you have changed from the factury defaults in the BIOS. Do you have the latest BIOS version installed? How do these lockups and crashes manifest themselves and from what application? What does the Event Viewer tell you in terms of error messages? What PSU do you have, what are the temps when you encounter such a crash or lockup? Have you checked your memory with Memtest 86+? etc.

I was having these problems before. I replaced all the RAM to 32 (4x8 sticks) Corsair Vengeance, GTX 570 card failed a couple of weeks ago, so I got a GTX 580 AMP!. The original SSD was a Kingston HyperX. Replaced it with a Patriot Wildfire 120 GB. Noothing wrong with the Kingston.

Installed the latest BIOS, reset CMOS, clean reinstalled Windows, TPU switch enabled. In BIOS, default settings at first. Tried XMP, and Manual. OC tuner, automatically overclocked to 4.4 GHz

I did stress test with Prime 95 - no issues

Memtest passed - no issues

No temperature or fan speed warnings

PSU is a Thermaltake 850W TR2 RX

Premiere or AE would just quit responding and grey out. Sometimes recovers on its own, sometimes not. Usually, only the app needs to be restarted. Other times, the computer locks up.

It happens less frequently with the new SATA cable on the SSD.

As for the RAIDS, does it make a difference if they are on the 3 Gb/s ports or the ^ Gb/s ports? When am I actually getting the 6 Gb/s?

It might be your PSU: None of Thermaltake's TR2 or TR2 RX series PSUs can handle anywhere near their labeled (advertised) wattage ratings. In fact, the TR2 RX 850W barely qualifies as a 600W PSU in realistic operating conditions. The major failing is the PSU platform(s) that they are based on (the TR2 RX 850W is based on an old HEC 600W platform to begin with) - and then, the safety circuits get disabled to allow more wattage to be output at the severe expense of DC output quality. The ripple goes way out of spec, which can kill PC components much earlier than you would expect!

@ RjL190365 Hmm. I'll have to look into that. My first graphics card GTX570 shorted out I think. I sent it in to ASUS for a look.

I moved the SSD to the 6 GB/s port and the RAIDS to the 3 Gb/s ports. Nothing on the Marvell. Premiere just crashed.

The graphics card short-out is likely caused by dirty output from a low-quality PSU. You see, modern high-performance components are now more picky about PSU output quality than old, low-performance, obsolete components were. That is exactly what might happen if you're asking a PSU to output more wattage than what its original OEM manufacturer (HEC/Compucase, in the case of that Thermaltake-branded TR2 RX 850W) had designed it for.

Now don't get me wrong, Thermaltake does market some good PSUs. It's just that the TR2 RX line is one of many that they market which stink.

Looks like I'm going back to Fry's tonight for a PSU before something else cooks. Thanks for the tip - I've tried just about everything else.

At least at the Fry's that's closest to my home, the Corsair AX line, the NXZT HALE 90 and HALE 82 lines, and most of the models in the Antec High Current Gamer and High Current Pro lines are good to great choices. Most of those are manufactured by Seasonic (with the following exceptions: The AX 1200W is made by Flextronics; the NXZT HALE 90 line is made by Super Flower and the Antec High Current Pro line and some of the High Current Gamer models are made by Delta).

Got a Corsair AX850 at Fry's, which is probably the minimum recommended for my setup - GTX850 Amp and 5 internal drives. I still had problems with freezing after install. Come to find out, the 120 GB SSD system drive was almost maxed to capacity. Had some remnant of cache files and other stuff to delete to make room. Seems to be running smooth with about 18 GB of free space, but need to free up more.

What do you think of installing a second SSD to put programs on and keep only Windows on the system drive? I have the original SSD. Nothing wrong with it - I replaced it thinking it might be bad.

Heck, when I get my burned out GTX570 replaced by ASUS, I'll have almost enough components to build another system! Have a spare 120G SSD, 16 GB RAM, Monitor and a 85 W power supply. Al I need is a case, motherboard and processor.
