hi i have a pc set up with two 64gb ssd's in raid which isnt alot of storage for my operating system storage. i was just wondering if there was any way that i could put a 120gb ssd into that raid?? seems a shame to get rid of my existing 64gb ssd's 

Hi! Welcome to the forum! Sorry but you cannot put a 128GB with 64GB. They need to be the same. So same capacity and same speeds(speeds RPM for normal drives)

Mixing different size drives for RAID never really works out well. It would likely only allow you to use it as another 60 GB drive (don't quote me on that).

 

My recommendation would be to run it as a separate altogether and use it to install games on. Steam is really cool about having install folders on multiple[le different drives.

When in doubt, re-format.
