Posted April 24, 2016 Hi, I am planning to get an SSD as a boot drive and get two 1Tb HDD and tun them in raid 0 so games load faster. Is it worth going for raid 0 or should I just get a 2Tb HDD? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 24, 2016 I personally think it´s not worth it, really. A friend of mine had the same configuration and the RAID broke apart when he reinstalled windows or something which ended in 2 HDDs with corrupted files. I´d either recommend 2TB or 2x1TB with RAID 1 to have real redundancy in case one busts. Quote Fanboys, on both sides, are quite embarrassing. How can one be a "fan" of a company? A companies only goal is to make a profit off you. Instead of being a smart consumer and base your purchase decision on the best price / performance you choose to dick yourself over by only considering brand X. Idiotic loss to be honest. ~Quibiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the hardware controllers on the consumer MoBos are also quite terrible when they expereince a sudden power loss. If you can, use ~50 GByte of your SSD as cache for the HDDs if you really need more speed. Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
