Is raid 0 possible in an Optiplex 755

[vascobrissos14]

I got a Dell Optiplex 755 in my second house and it's enough for what I do with it but I have 2 drives (same specs) and I thought about raiding (raid 0) this old PC.

I tried to search on the web but didn't find any solution for my question, only messages saying it's not supported officially.

My question is, is there any way I can raid 0 on this PC? Maybe flash a different BIOS?

Thanks

May I ask - why raid 0?

Because the current HDD is slow and makes the PC slow. I put a Q9400 and a GT730 but the HDD is slowing it down a lot.

Since I have these 2 disks, I want to use them and raid would be a good alternative to buying an SSD. Not much better but still better than a single HDD right?

Why raid 0? I've read the basics and raid 0=speed while raid 1="safety" and I want speed.

Thanks

The Optiplexes only supported RAID 1 for backup. In the workstations RAID 0 was provided. Another option is a hybrid drive. I think they're called HHDD. But small 128GB SSDs have gotten pretty cheap. Look for SATA 2.0 drives.
