Should I do a Raid 0?

[Z_GAB_X]

Hello folks,
I have two SSDs, one is the SanDisk Extreme 120Gb and the other SSDSC2BW120H6R5 from Intel with 120Gb of storage. I have enough storage for my use (240Gb SSD and a 3Tb HDD), Should I do a Raid 0 with these two drives to achieve better performance in games (like Battlefield 4, CS: GO, etc) or should I use it's full storage?

no. ssd's in raid 0 do nothing to speed up every day use.

HDD speed really doesn't have much to do with actual game performance - except in initial load times and new maps or areas.

No, raid 0 on SSDs isnt worth it and on some drives it can actually reduce drive performance. Also running a game from an SSD wont increase gaming performance. The game will load faster but the fps will remain unchanged.

No you should NOT RAID 0 those things.
You will see exactly zero performance benefit for that use.

RAID 0 + SSD- great for benchmarks, but out here in the real world, not so much.

Thanks guys. I knew that in-game performance won't change, just the initial loading time. And I need to choose a best answer, so the fastest wins, but, thank you all.
