SSD Performance RAID

Unread post by the-operative »

I am getting a new hdd. i am planning on two samsung 840 evo 250 gb drives in a performance raid. my question. would i gain any performance by placing the drives in a raid config or should I save 10$ and get the 500 gb running solo, or spend the extra 100$ and get the 500gb pro version?

You will get a nice speed boost if you configure your two SSDs in a RAID 0 setup. This would be faster than a single 500GB SSD.

However, be advised that if either disk fails, you will loose everything on both disks. Make sure you back up regularly.
