Thanks a lot for your information. That eases out the choice of going for RAID 1 as desired.

Hello All, I'm in the process of configuring a custom built brand new Hewlett-Packard Z840 Workstation for personal use. While I'm done with the rest of the configuration I'm curious to know about the performance effects in terms of read/write speeds of RAID 1 vs a single drive. I will be using a PCIe SSD (Z Turbo Gen 2) as a boot drive. I'm pretty confused between the RAID 1 vs single drive. I would need some help deciding between the two(RAID1 vs Single drive). I prefer redundancy but not at the cost of severe performance downgrades. Using RAID 10 is not an option for now due to budget constraints, although may be a possibility in the future. I'll be using the workstation for Read/Write intensive applications such as ANSYS, hence a high data throughput is a huge advantage along with powerful processors, GPU and RAM. How much of a performance downgrade is observed in case of a RAID 1 vs Single drive? For your ref I'm posting the complete configuration decided by me below: 2 X Intel Xeon E5-2687W v4 3.0 GHz 10 core CPU 128 GB(8X16GB) DDR4 - 2400MHz ECC LR RAM NVIDIA Quadro P5000 16 GB Graphics Card 1400W PSU 2X512GB Z Turbo Gen 2 PCIe SSD in RAID 1(Boot Drives) Windows 10 Pro x64 Your valuable insights are highly appreciated. Thanks a lot. Regards
