[SOLVED] What RAID setup should i use for my new gaming PC?

[olekthebuilder]

Hi guys I am currently building my new gaming PC and I want to know what RAID setup i should use for my hard drives. I had my ssd + hdd combo in RAID 0 for 6 years.
I have wiped all drives for clean install of windows and data, the drives im using in my system:
1tb samsung 860 ssd (boot)
1tb seagate hard drive (from existing pc)
120gb kingston ssd (from existing pc)
64gb ssd (got for free from my mate)

What would be the optimal RAID setup for these drives? I am currently holding 1tb of data across all drives in my existing pc, so i would prefer redundancy over extra storage space.

Thanks

None.
raid will make your ssd running as slow as hdd

RAID 0 will not give you any redundancy.

RAID 0 will not give you any redundancy.

yeah i meant should i opt for raid 5 or just go with raid 0

raid 5 would wasted space. raid 0 is useless.
I would said since you don't understand raid at all, just use the disk as is.
