What to choose?

Right now on Newegg you can get a Samsung 850 pro 128GB for ~$100 and a 256GB for ~$180 dollars.

Do you think it would be better to get 2 128GBs in Raid 1 or just one 256GB. I just want to see opinions from people

 

Thanks for your help!

 

<sarcasm> The 256GB comes with a free copy of AssCreed unity so I think I might want to get that one. </sarcasm>

Just get one 256 sure the raid setup would be faster but it's a hassle to setup and if something breaks you will loose all your stuff.

Personally I'd go for the raid just because I don't keep any sensitive data on my os drive, so if you do you might want to get the larger one.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I got the 256GB one just for the sheer fact that I'll probably get another one later so I can have a RAID with bigger drives.

 

On that note, anyone want AssCreed Unity?
