Raid 0 850 evo

[Onefurrybanana]

I currently have a 1tb 850 evo would i see a difference in speed if i got a second and did them in raid 0? Also if i bought a 2tb and did raid 0 with the 1tb i would only have 1tb usable right?

I ran a Raid 0 with HDD's and it was a pain in the butt every time there was an issue. VERY easy to loose all your data.

IMHO SSD's are fast enough that a normal user will never notice a gain that is worth the headache.

The only time you will see a difference is in benchmarks.

RAID 0 stripes so you will double your capacity (of lowest drive)
1tb+ 1tb = 2tb usable/total
1tb +2tb = 3tb total 2tb usable

Raid-0 has been over hyped as a performance enhancer.
Sequential benchmarks do look wonderful, but the real world does not seem to deliver the indicated performance benefits for most
desktop users. The reason is, that sequential benchmarks are coded for maximum overlapped I/O rates.
It depends on reading a stripe of data simultaneously from each raid-0 member, and that is rarely what we do.
The OS does mostly small random reads and writes, so raid-0 is of little use there.
There are some apps that will benefit. They are characterized by reading large files in a sequential overlapped manner.

Here is a study using ssd devices in raid-0.

Spoiler... no benefit at all.
