My question is summarized in the title. SSD's are pretty expensive for my budget so I've been wondering if I can mimic the performance of one SSD by buying a few high capacity HDDs and configuring them in RAID 0 or RAID 5. Please keep in mind I'm a novice so explain any tech terms you have to use. Thanks for the advice!
Edit: Looks like I'm saving up for an SSD. Thanks for the quick feedback!
