Dual M.2 EVO 960 500GB in RAID 0 not getting the speeds.. help! "CRYSTAL MARK"

Hi I built my mega computer awhile ago & got my Raid 0 up, I never thought to bench mark.. it I expected faster speeds.. This might be correct but just want to make sure.. I Used Crystal Mark

I'm not Sure If these speeds are correct under task manager it says "Intel raid 0"

Raid Arrays are an old technology that was developed many years ago to improve hard disk drive performance.

Modern solid state drives are pretty fast without Raid Arrays.

What did you hope to accomplish by creating a Raid Array? What sort of things do you do with your pc that require a Raid Array?

I just wanted it to be warp speed, I this was my dream computer I have Titan xp SLI.. I just expected it to Double the speed.. I had the money to spend This is what I wanted My budget was $7000

I dont know why it wouldnt speed it up also a when I bought the M.2 two 500gb was cheaper then 1 TB

of course $7000 wasn't necessarily what I spent

RAID 0 + SSD does not scale the way it used to with HDD's.

In some use cases (NVMe), it may be slower than individual drives.

This may be true but the Article you posted doesn't show any kind of benchmarks, sounds like the narrator on "Ancient Aliens"

Real world performance isn't good enough?

Personally, I use my equipment in the real world, not in synthetic benchmark numbers.
