I have seen a lot of people talking about how putting your sdd and your m.2 in raid 0 is twice as risky. Even though technically putting your drives in raid 0 is twice as risky as having a single drive setup people tend to not understand that in general raid0 is not only not risky but helpful. Did you know that modern ssd have a annual failure rate of just a mere one tenth of a percent. Additionally, unlike HDDs with their spinning disks, SSDs have no moving parts. As such, they are able to withstand shocks and vibrations without the risk of data loss. This makes ssd even less likely to fail. With all this said now you need to multiply these numbers by two. This gives you a whopping two tenths of a percent to fail on average. Oh no!!! What you get for this “risk” is up to double the speeds! (Most people don’t get this though) if you buy 2x 500gb ssd and put them in raid 0 you get faster performance and 1tb of storage for the same price as a single 1tb ssd. So why are people still buying the single biggest size ssd they can get there hands on and not on the two second biggest ssd and putting them in raid0? If you were really scared you could always back all your ssd raid into hdd (which btw actually have a much higher chance to fail, around 4-5% annually) which is what I do. My current setup is 2x 512gb 970 pro in raid 0 with all my data being backed up to 2x wd black 2003fzex drives. If anyone still believes raid 0 is not worth the “risk” feel free to debate me in the comments below.
