New SSD setup

[Bangflop]

So when I first built my computer a couple years ago, SSD's were fairly expensive compared to what you were getting out of it.

 

Nowadays you can pick up a 128GB SSD for under $100 so they are becoming more and more readily available.

 

So my plan for my upcoming upgrades for my computer is to buy a 4TB HDD for major games and whatnot then buy around 1TB of SSD space.  I am thinking about buying four or five 256GB SSD's to put my most frequent programs and games on.  I have a OCZ Vertex 4 128GB SSD for my OS and drivers right now.

 

My question is, what are the best SSD's when it comes to speed and reliability.  It doesn't have to be any specific size but I would still like to know what is the most reliable and fastest SSD's on the market right now.

Intel 750 series SSDs or the Samsung SM951 with the NVME standard are some of the fastest SSDs on the consumer market.

 

Do you really need 1TB of space for frequently used programs? Shouldn't need more than 500 at the most...

[manikyath]

fastest would be the intel nvme ones.

 

most reliable... seems very debatable, everyone seems to have a different opinion here.

I say 1TB because I may run two of them in raid 0 for my OS and for future compatibility.

You won't see any performance gain or any redundancy on RAID 0. It actually increases latency.

 

 

 

If compatibility is your goal a single SSD would be more compatible because you won't need to deal with any RAID configuration.
