What does RAID mode do?

[sgtcool]

like ,does it improve the drives performance of the drive?

and do you see the Drives storage as seperate 2 drives, or just like 1  370gb drive? (120gb +250gb SSD ,example)

 

i have a 840 EVO 120gb

and im thinking of buying another 840 EVO 250gb

if i run them in RAID will they run faster?

 

my current 120gb one runs at only 430 mb/s read ,probobly because its full ,(18gb free)

There are differnces between RAID.

There's Raid 0, Raid 1, Raid 10, Raid 5, ...

Also you need at least two drives of the same capacity.

If you use a 120 and a 250 gig SSD, then the 250gig will automatically get a 120 gig and all together you would still have only 240 gig with Raid 0.

You should also think about it if you really want RAID. Worst thing that could happen, is that you've to do a fresh install of Windows and your data could also get lost. And the performance increase isn't really that great overall. You probably won't even notice it.

Depends on the RAID configuration, different ones do different things. RAID 0 doubles performance, RAID 1 provides redundancy at half capacity, RAID 5 provides redundancy at 2/3 capacity, and the list goes on.

RAID SSDs doesn't really have a noticeable performance impact though unless you do massive file transfers between multiple sets of SSDs.

than its probobly the best to just get another 250gb ,850 EVO maybe

and move BF4 onto that (takes 55gb,probobly why its full)

 

and a M.2 SSD for win 10 when it comes

Bloop, linus has some videos on it too
