Hey guys i posted this in another category then saw this one...still new to forum but this is what i posted

Boot drive- 2-samsung 850 evo 120GB in raid 0 

Game storage- 1-samsung 850 evo 1TB drives

Mass storage-2-WD green 4TB drives 

 

I have the money to order all the drives at once for the my build so any ideas on different brands or diff set ups would be great

I'm not too up to date on the SSD front, but the HDD part should be fine. Any particular reason

you're going with RAID0 for your OS drive instead of just one 240 GB SSD?

Hey there,

 

Regarding the HDD part, WD Green is a great drive for massice secondary storage and backups. It works cool, quiet and saves energy so good choice on it. 

About the RAID solution for the boot drive, any particular reason why you'd like to go for a striped array for your boot solution? Even though RAID0 provides a significant speed increase in transfer rates, your boot times wouldm ost probably increase compared to a single SSD boot and you are increasing the chances of data loss in case of a drive failure. I'd second @alpenwasser and suggest a single larger SSD for the boot drive.
