Yeah I'm still chasing the theoretical maximum, and you are right it probably isn't wise.. but it is fun.. and I just make it a point to back up all data to my 8tb HDD.

I don't have screenshots from before, but my speed hasn't really increased. It makes sense that I would be limited to a maximum of 3.9gbs per drive, however in raid 0 shouldn't my maximum be like almost 8gbs between two drives?

Honestly I just wanted to see if I could. I wanted a fat 7gbs transfer that I could never actually use. Originally I was running out of space so i started moving things to other drives and decided to expand and rather than get a separate drive to manage i made my C drive larger.

Hey all. I have been running a Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB for a while and was inspired to try and run my os off of a raid 0 solution. So I purchased a Samsung 970 evo plus 500GB and followed a simple guide to put both drives in Intel raid 0 in my motherboard's bios, created a 1TB volume, and booted windows from it. Everything has worked pretty much as expected, but I haven't seen the raw performance I was expecting. In both CrystalDiskMark and Samsung Magician, at default settings, I was seeing numbers that surpassed the 970 Evo specs but didn't quite meet the 970 Evo plus specs. Regardless I think I should be expecting somewhere in the neighborhood of double the slowest drive speeds anyway. I'm not really sure why this raid volume is so slow. This is my first experience with raid, System specs: i7-8700k, Asus Prime Z390, 32 GB Trident Z RBG 3200 Mhz, GTX 1080, Intel Raid 0: Samsung Evo 500 Gb + Samsung Evo Plus 500 Gb. Suggestions or comments?
