im building a new pc do i get a single hi performance ssd like 960 series from samsung  or should i get cheaper ones and then raid zero them ? im looking for performance per rupee  though id prefer if the solution was as simple as possible and run as long as possible without me having to fix something (i like tech but dont like the hassle of choosing and buying frequently so id prefer if it lasts me ) 
im on a z270 board 
also general recommendations and tips and basically any advice would be welcome

The performance of a Samsung 960 is only marginally better than cheaper ones. What you're paying for is reliability.

 

With the crazy fast speeds of current nvme SSDs I wouldn't bother going for Raid 0, in most use cases there isn't really a tangible benefit.

If you're after performance per rupee, and you want reliability, I'd go for a m.2 nvme drive for your OS and a regular SATA SSD for storage. Or even an HDD if you need tons of storage space for your game library or something.

Does you mum know you're here?
