2011 13" MBP 2.3 Dual 80GB X-25M Raid 0?

[Jazojas12]

I have one in the HDD spot currently and have a spare one I could throw in the ODD.

Has anyone done this with the newer ones? I've searched and found someone saying that on anyone 09+ MBPs it gives issues right away.

Are there any issues with using:
TRIM
Time Machine with a Time Capsule (backing up and restoring from backup)
Other?

Anyone?

I can't see why there would be any issue with using a Time Machine. If you need to know how to set them up in RAID 0, this link could help.

Q: What about TRIM? A: Well first off, TRIM isn't even supported by OS X as of Snow Leopard so it's not like that's a big deal. However, while you could boot into Windows 7 previously if you had a dual-boot system and run TRIM from there (edit: but even that is of limited utility as Windows 7 can't run TRIM on HFS+), that isn't possible with an SSD RAID array. It is not possible to TRIM a RAID array now for a few reasons. No RAID controller (and this array is software too, so there is not a physical RAID controller) currently supports TRIM on RAID and it is not possible to TRIM each SSD separately since the file system needs to be seen and the RAID layer on top of that kind of abstracts it. This does not mean that TRIM on SSD RAID arrays will not be possible in the future but it requires that the OS, RAID controller and SSDs all support TRIM, which will invariably take some time.

Thank you, I read that link previously but the 09+ statement got me worried. Guess I'll give it a try when I have some time and report back.
