What do i need to raid 0?

[Snickerzz]

I'm think about buying another samsung 840 120gb and putting them in raid 0 because it can increase speeds. How would i go about doing this and whats the advantage/disadvantage of doing this? How likely is the ssd to die/fail becuase of raid 0? Thanks :3

Your mother board should support it Natively  what board do you have?

 if you look in the specs at SATA RAID, it says what it can do, only if you have (since it doesnt say officially) more than 2 per raid array do you need a raid card

 

In recap because re reading that made no sense;

 

You can have 2 arrays of 2 drives

anything more like a 3rd array of two drives, you would need a card

 

(these are very low ball figures as i dont really have much faith that this board will support much more) so with 2 3tb drives in raid 0 you will be fine :)

ya it is but you need a minimum of 2 drives for raid so if it supports any raid its always 2 or more
