Does more M.2 SSDS increase write/read speeds

[Amer]

I might be dumb for asking this but yeah haha because I've sene videos of people using a bunch of m.2 SSDs. If that's the case I might get 2 1tb sabrents instead of just one 2tb

Only if you're running them in raid 0/10 but for raid 10 you need 4 ssds

Depends on PCIe lane distribution of the system.

 

but for most people, SATA to NVMe makes no difference, so let alone two NVMes in RAID 0

My system boots in 0.347 seconds flat. Can SATA peasants say that? #SATAIIIisthenewIDE #RAIDallthethings

Raiding nvme drives often increases controller latency. For what most people use their machines for it would probably be slower.

Just stick with one larger faster drive. You'll be fine.

There is no real reason to mess with RAID on SSD's. For anything short of server applications or scientific applications that require extreme harddrive bandwidth, or professional workflows, there just isn't any noticeable difference. Also, RAID 0 doubles the chance of you losing your data since if either drive dies, all data is lost. Its really just not worth it since the performance change is completely unnoticeable.

Yea. My SATA 850 Evo windows 8.1 install boots in about 2 seconds discounting bios time.

dont you need to boot from RAM disk to use that little time?

 

actually serious

Yes by using RAID but if you don't understand what RAID and it's other type you should watch this vid by Linus himself:

 

or maybe this one by PowerCert animated videos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-OCdTeZLac

I don't know if even a RAM disk could do it. Unless something magical has happened in the last few years that I missed, a RAM disk still has to load an OS image from ROM storage, and I don't see that plus a boot happening in a third of a second. I haven't done anything with RAM disks since 2014, so take everything I say on the topic and treat it as wrong.
