Question Raid 0 with only one sata cable?

[Navy]

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this thread!

I have absolutely no idea how to raid but I have 2 HDD one with 2tb and one with 1tb and I want raid 0 for faster speeds, I know the disavantages of it but still that's what Im going for the reason I only have one sata port available is because my gpu is two big and it takes up a lot of room and just blocks the sata ports, so Is it possible to raid with only one sata cable? I have the other power cable, but I'm guessing I need to buy a special sata cable please tell me what do I need to know.

Try eBay the prices are much better on used drives. A lot of people sell the smaller drives which have had not too much use because they upgraded to a larger one. As long as you don't buy anything too old it's completely fine, more or less 😉

Of course you can keep your HDDs, just install windows to the new SSD and juggle around your stuff so you can reformat your HDDs one after the other and use them as storage drives.

I'm in need of new speakers so I'm gonna buy ones for 10 dollars and try to buy a 480gb ssd for 55€

I recommend at least a 240 GB SSD.

120 GB is just becoming too small.

And 240 GB SSD's do not cost all that much more.

I have a couple of Samsung SSD's. No problems thus far (knocking on wood).

Unable to advise regarding the price.

Pricing/comparison shopping involves many factors: sources, shipping costs, easy RMA, customs, and so forth.

If you post your country (nothing more needed) then someone may be able to provide additional guidance about pricing, reputable sources, etc..

In 2021 I'd be hard pressed to recommend a 120 GB SSD.

I can't think of any reason to suggest one.

That's why I'm going with the Samsung 870 Evo 500GB sata III is it a good purchase?

It's good.
Samsung 860 evo and Crucial MX500 is also a good choice. Get one, that costs less.

Samsung 860 Evo and 870 Evo are like 5 dollars of price difference here or in some stores the same prices as the 860 Evo I think il go with the 870 Evo. Thank you all for your help
