Hi there,
I need to get larger, fast storage on my PC. Right now I have several year old 2 Samsung pro 512gb SSDs in RAID0 using Windows. I'm thinking of getting 3 more of the same drives and running them all on RAID0. I've never created a RAID with so many drives before so I wonder if that's the best thing for me to do.
Can I do it on Windows Asus x99-e ws usb3.1? Is that the best choice? Or should I be using some sort of a RAID controller?
Is there any reason I shouldn't use SSDs?
I'd like to keep it all on board, as I do travel with my system to work. So a raid like a Promise or something of that nature isn't ideal. Also, I'd like it to be as fast as possible, and I don't feel like ethernet connections will be good enough (could be wrong, still trying to get my mind wrapped around gpbs and drive speeds)
This is for reading and writing/playback of large video files.
