Raid ssd vs hdd

[DMG5760]

Why is there so many people against running the 850 pro 512gb in a raid when running a disc drive is perfectly fign

You are funny. "certainly not off your machine". You don't know what machines I have. Maybe you have a crystal ball and can see what I have. Maybe.
W.P.

I see that you have decided that this thread has gone off topic, it's actually quite relevant as to whether the speed actually delivers you anything, and shuffling it around inside a machine is kind of pointless as you can generally do what you want where the data is sat, moving it to a different machine is useful. So how do you get SSD speeds (raided or otherwise) to be useful over network speeds?

Which is surely network dependent, did the OP state his setup? LBFO etc?

No, but suggesting the benefits to others who won't have fibre etc. he doesn't have fibre, 99% certain of it. So his speed is limited to sending it to another equally fast array on the same machine, wow.

There is not much ppl i know that would build SAN(storage array network) at home if any, but if you have the money and you are willing to spend it for this hardware that is good for you. Personally i dont think you even need raid for games, just get 1TB SSD that should resolve you performance issue in any game if the HDD is your bottle neck in your configuration.

Hardware RAID is different than a software RAID. Use the mobo not the OS. I have a X99A/3.1 ASUS board and it works flawlessly. The horses mouth here not what someone just says. Good luck.

Would that X99 be a Rampage V. If so have you used M.2 with an SSD? I'm not having good luck.

Boogoeman_WD is correct using SSD in raid 0 you wont get much benefits if you are using SATA interface (for M.2 on theory the performance should be better ). There is NAS systems whit SSD not sure how much MB have more then one M.2 port. If you use the SSD in raid 1 configuration then you want more safety then performance, if that is the case go for hybrid HHD+SSD or Raptor HDD. If SSD fail is way harder to recover data from it.

What is the HHD+SSD? If it's like it sounds how would you install. I have a Asus Rampage V Extreme. I was just trying to install on my M.2 with SSD 950 Pro as a boot.
