Posted December 7, 2019 Hey all, Anyone have experience using nvme drives in raid on the Aorus Master z390. I got 2 questions. 1. If i make the raid 0 drives my boot drive how much of a delay does it ad to startup due to having to load the raid profile? 2. I have enough nvme drives to do a 512gb boot and my raid drives as secondary, would that even make sense to do? Reason for considering doing this. I have only got 512gb nvme drives and I recently purchased a maschine with komplete 12 ultimate collectors edition. It includes nearly 900gb+ of audio plugins and patches. No basically I ran out of space and until i pony up and purchase a 2tb nvme or a 4tb 2,5" sata ssd I was considering raiding together 2 512. I would potentially do all 3 but 1 of them is a samsung (my fastest) the other 2 are slightly slower sk hynix drives (got them for free) which is why i have the mis matching of brands. Now I do know that when you populate all the nvme slots you use lanes and if im not mistaking this would make my gfx slot slower / cut the bandwidth in half correct? I know this is information available online and may have been answered in the forums already but i am a moron when it comes to searching and figured it wouldn't hurt to share my specific setup and see if this even temporarily makes sense? I apologize in advance for any poor spelling or grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However on Z390, all M.2 slots are connected to the chipset so with PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDs, RAID 0 will barely improve their total performance.
