hypothetically speaking

[zedselder]

hypothetically speaking and only for the sake of knowledge can anyone put these in ascending order from fastest to slowest ( M.2 SSD, 2 SATA Express SSD's in RAID 0 and 4 SATA III SSD's in RAID 0 )

thanks

SATA Express in Raid 0

SATA III in Raid 0

M.2 SSD

I believe it would be 2 sata express RAID 0, 4 SATA 3 RAID 0, and then m.2 (but don't quote me on it)

 

Reasoning is that RAID 0 doesn't scale 100% just like SLI or XFIRE especially after you go past 2 or 3. Thats why Sata express > sata 3. But RAID 0 for 2 drives does help a lot so I think it would be faster than m.2.

wow can you tell me why?

SATA III is the best bc it is. SATA Express is express, it isn't a permanent solution, just for hooking it up to trouble shoot etc. And M.2 is mobile and not for speed.

well thanks for the info

i was just about to do it

Sata express is the new 12gb interface, so it's faster than sata 3... not sure what mrswag is talking about.

 

EDIT: Sata express officially supports up to 16gigabit or 2 gigaBYTEs per second drives. http://www.sata-io.org/sata-express

if we would add a PCI Express 3.0 X16 SSD to the list where will it be

SATA Express RAID 0 is fastest, followed by PCIe x16, then sata3 raid, and m.2

[Aibohphobia]

RAID doesn't scale perfectly so I put M.2 first. Here's the max theoretical speed for each:

 

M.2 (PCIe 3.0 x4): 32Gb/s

2x Sata Express RAID 0: 32Gb/s

4x Sata 3.0 RAID 0: 24Gb/s

 

A hypothetical PCIe 3.0 x16 drive would be 128Gb/s
