I am soon going to come into possession of 4 of these drives. My question. How fast exactly do you think it would boot up if i had them set in Raid 0?
Right now with my 250gb HDD boot time is about 2 minutes.
Hard to say. You should notice an improvement in boot time, but I do not believe it would be possible to narrow it down to a specific number. There are a lot of variables in boot time. For instance, one of my laptops used to boot in ~20 seconds. However, after I loaded drivers for my peripherals, software, etc the time has increased to a little under a minute. And this is from a single Samsung SSD.
It is safe to say your boot times would probably improve some... but how much would need to be determined by clocking it after the transition to Raid 0.
Are you going to reinstall your OS and all supporting software from scratch? That alone may improve your boot time.
A better benefit of Raid 0 would be your experience using the machine AFTER it has booted. Which should be improved noticeably. Also, look in to tweaking your Windows (assuming you use windows) settings/software/drivers/programs that load on boot.
If you are only interested in increasing boot speed then you may want to look at using a low capacity SSD for your boot drive and an HDD for your data/larger programs. That would most likely result in better boot times and general performance than two of the HDDs at a similar price point.
