For Black Friday I got the Predator Helios 300 (256gb ssd, 16gb ram, gtx 1660ti)
I was kicking around the idea of doing a raid0 with a couple of the Samsung 970 Evo 1TB drives. After doing some research, which wasnt easy (for me)- I found this uses an Intel HM370 rev 10 chipset. From what I could read, this has max 16 lanes to the CPU (i7-9750H) and I would essentially be limited to only 4x on the entire raid array. One of these alone, as a single drive, are nearly already maxed out on the bandwidth.
So what i'd like to know/confirm:
1. Is this in fact the case, or would each raid drive have their own 4x, allowing me to double my performance in Raid0?
2. If I ran them as individual drive, would they operate separately at full speed, or would I still be limited by the 4x, meaning, it would still not allow me to use both drives simultaneously?
3. Anyone know if the chipset provides its own dedicated raid bus? Have its own lanes? If so how does this connect back to the CPU?
This link gave me the most info I could find in one place: https://valid.x86.fr/gljac9
Storage (HDD/SSD)
Model #1 Capacity: 238.5 GiB (~260 GB)
Model #1 Type: Fixed - Bus: RAID (8)
238.5 GiB = 256087 MB (is this per second??)
If that's the case, wouldn't that mean two of these at 3500MB could stack in raid0?
Looking for advanced technical info or diagrams or results from anyone that has done this already.
