SSD vs SSD in raid 0, Game load times.

[Noiz1212]

Will 2 x SSD's in raid 0 help my load times?

I know writing data to the drives will be faster, but is read faster too and will I notice it in load times?

I really don't have any important data on my computer, so drive failure is not an issue.

Hey there, Noiz1212.

If you are all about performance, then go ahead. It will definitely boost the loading times. However I'm not sure how much it's worth having 2 SSDs in RAID 0 just for gaming, however since you don't care about failure possibilities and if it fits your budget - why not.
It will actually be very beneficial for games with a lot of in-game loading screens e.g. like Skyrim.

Hope that helps.

Ye, I was just building a PC and saw I could get 2x250 for the price of a 500gb Samsung SSD, so I thought I would just try it, I got all my important pictures and videos on a standalone server, so this will just have games, so that can be easily downloaded.

Even tho the load times might not be dramatic, I don't see why I wouldn't go for it, and it's always fun to play around with raids

That's true! Let me know how it is once you have your setup up and running.

I will, but the system got some parts coming in early July, so I just had them hold all parts until that, so will take a while until they send

I see... Well, I'll be here so no worries 😀
