The time has finally come for me to ditch the old platter age and join among the ranks of the chip jockeys. Only deciding what to pick has proven difficult with somany options.
The samsung set costs more overall, but that is largely due to it obviously having more space. Pound for pound, the samsungs are quite a bit more economic, being about 12 cents cheaper on the Gb. The double samsungs would run me 843 euros, the single intel costs 757 euros. Essentially id get 200gb extra for 90 euros more.
Speed of both the single intel drive and the raided samsung drives is virtually identical in realworld use. Despite the intel drive far exceeding in CrystalDiskMark (touching 2.7GBps), copying a 20gb file to and from a RAM disk took an equal amount of time (1.5GBps). So unless employed in server load scenarios, both options are a tie.
My question is, which option is more worth it? I heard SSD Raid can be very hit-and-miss, only a few can handle it.
I also have an M.2 option, but until they come up with a 1Tb stick that doesn't catch fire on large file transfers, I dont think its a viable one.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
