i have 2 500gb ssd samsung pro drives 

 

pros and cons plz 

For RAID0 to get "better performance?

 

Pros? Basically none (they're already damn fast)

 

Cons? If the array is disrupted, you basically lose all your files

 

If it were me, I would either use the second SSD as a secondary drive with a different drive letter, or simply repurpose it for something else.
