so i want to go get an SSD for my main rig and since black Friday is coming up its probably the time to get one, and way strait to the point. i can only afford around a 500gb SSD, i want to get a Samsung drive but i dont know what to do, get a 500gb drive or get two 250gb drives and shove them in RAID 0  

My speakers dont even fit on or under my desk...PA's FTW

two smaller ssds in raid 0 if you want speed .

Just remember that you are adding an extra point of failure.

Also anything above 2 drives is not worth it.

AMD Ryzen R7 1700 (3.8ghz) w/ NH-D14, EVGA RTX 2080 XC (stock), 4*4GB DDR4 3000MT/s RAM, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3 MB, CX750M PSU, 1.5TB SDD + 7TB HDD, Phanteks enthoo pro case

2 250gb drives will be more expensive than 1 500gb drive, but if you only need the 500gb and can afford it, go for the RAID 0 setup

Specs: CPU: AMD FX 6300 Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A DS3P RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB 1866MHz GPU: MSI R9 270 OC edition Case: Sharkoon VS3-S SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB HDD: 1TB Caviar Blue PSU: Corsair CX500W

*If I say something that seems offensive, please don't take it seriously, it was most likely meant as a joke/sarcastically*
