Ultimate storage setup!

[denniS_redbeast]

so for storage I decided to go two 850 evo 250gb ssd's in Raid 0 for more than a gigabyte of read and write speeds. and since it's raid 0 its fast but not reliable so i decided to back that up every 24 hours to a 500gb WD Blue hard drive (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd5000lpvx). and for files i went with a WD black 2 TB drive (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd2003fzex). 

 

i am backing up my ssd's so that i never loose by game library and for everyday gaming i will be pulling the games of a super fast SSD raid 0 solution. 

 

Any ideas or thoughts???

If you want to step up the speed, and if your board supports NVMe boot (ASUS is coming with it soon™)

 

Besides that, RAID 0 for an OS is asking for trouble IMO. Better off getting one larger drive and not being paranoid that one day you'll wake up and have to rebuild an array from a toasted OS.

Title said "ultimate storage setup".  I clicked it and was disappointed.

 

As long as you have a backup and don't mind a higher chance of having to do an OS install (Not as doomsday as the person above makes it out to be) raid 0's are fine.  You can be back up and running in ~30 minutes, not that big a problem IF it comes to it.

buting two 250GB 850 evo's and a 500GB to back them up still costs less then buying the 400GB intel 750 series pcie ssd

I was mostly being facetious, but an NVMe boot is as "ultimate" as you can get ATM.

I would call rebuilding a RAID array with your OS on it as a gigantic PIA, which is how I believe I described it, not end of days type material...
