SSD Assistance

[RML Futuristics]

Hi All!

 

I have had to return my Samsung 840 Pro 256GB to Amazon, so they gave me the £180 I originally spent on it back. This means I now need to replace said drive, and im not sure what to buy (or if I should even raid).

 

Im a Video Editor, 3D Designer and gamer so I need the drive to be the fastest I can physically get for read and writes and versatility, and as for size it has to be at least 240GB.

 

Im looking to spend about the same, up to £180 max, but i don't know what is the best to get, Any suggestions peeps

 

I tip my hat to all those who help!

Yours,

 

Sir DrowHunter

If I was you, I would first buy a small 120Gb or even a 60Gb ssd for my basic os and programs then buy two fast drives (1Tb+ in size) and either RAID0 or RAID1 them.

 

Just my opinion though.

If i were you i would buy two 128GB ssd´s for a total of 180 pounds and put them in a raid 0 array, that way you will have double the speed for reading and writing. If you do put them in raid 0 i do recommand you do regular backups.

RAID 0 two 128GB drives, then backup on a nightly basis.
