 if i have 2 500gbs ssd and i put them in raid 0, will i get 1tb of space in raid 0 or 500gbs in raid 0?

You will get ~1TB. Striping leaves all the space available to you. Parity trades capacity for backup.

You'll get 1TB of space but its not worth it in my opinion, I would stay the fuck away from RAID 0.

why... the real risk is very very small. Go for the raid. Ive been running raid 0 with 4 500gb hhds for years about 5 years now and ive had zero issues

There's the difference, you've been running RAID 0 with HDD's. He's talking about doing it with SSD's, now the performance boost - risk ratio with running RAID 0 on an SSD just isn't worth it since they're so fast anyways. Running RAID 0 on an HDD is definitely worth it though just because the speed increase is more noticeable.

that doesnt make sense, the failure rate of hdds are much more likely the ssds and ive ran ssds in raid too, there is a noticeable difference...

Suit yourself, sort of hit and miss imo

I suggest 64kb striping for RAID 0. You will get around 920GB after formatting with HDD in a RAID 0 after formatting.
