Thanks a lot Zerk for your nice reply. I completely agree but I am really afraid of all these consequences. Changing the motherboard and CPU can cost me to replace everything = buying a new complete PC will be a more reasonable option :D I have been trying to keep using this PC heavily for 12...

I am not sure how to find these information but this is what I can see on the system information about this Raid and the disks View: https://imgur.com/a/OZmErnw

Yes this is true and weird :) it comes like this from dell. I tried to check if this is really a raid by disconnecting one of them and non-of them worked. I read about Raid 0 and my limited understanding is that it should be done through two equal disks. I don't know even why it has been...

Thanks for your quick response USAFret. I have 1 T of data on this raid and unfortunately I have tried all reasonable possible upgrades to this PC and I thought it is the time to make more radical changes :). This PC (xps 8100) comes with two hard drives in Raid 0 configuration. If I change the...

Thanks a lot. I will search the market and see if I can get one in this price range.

Thanks a lot Flayed for your interesting reply. I have never tried the used GPU before because usually there is no grantee .return rights, but this sounds interesting if I manage to find a reasonable priced gtx 1070. Do you think all gtx 1070 variation could work in my PC configurations? i.e...
