Question Raid 0 not increasing SSD's speed.

[LiquidCasper]

I have 2 Samsung 840 EVO's in RAID 0. But I've noticed there's pretty much 0 increase in speed. I'm pretty stumped in finding a solution.

How did you do this RAID?
What size drives?

You do realize, that even if that benchmark show uber results, the user facing benefit is still pretty much zero.

For some reason BIOS couldn't recognized the drives, so I did microsoft's built in raid thing. Which was a first for me.

Both 1TB

WIndows software RAID/Storage Spaces Direct is known for a quick way to data loss by many...

Why would you even raid 0 two SSD'S? it is just waste of time if you ask me, it won't show that much difference i would prefer to use 2 separated instead.
And as other members said, quick way to data loss.

If I'm not mistaken RAID 0 doesn't increase in speed.

It does, but much better for platter drives. RAID 0 in SSDs is pretty much a waste of time and just increases chance of losing data or having to re-build the system if either of the drives fail.

pcworld has an article praising raid 0 on SSD, they say that the SSD is far more capable using the extra bandwidth.

I would not use windows to do it, BIOS should allow Raid 0 and then reinstall windows to it
