1Tb WD Black or keep Raid0 2xWD blue 320gb

Hi,  right now  on my pc i have 1 ssd for OS and software, RAID0 2xWD blue 320gb each (Docs and games). and  2 green for movies and stuff. My question is if  i would gain anything else than capacity if  i replace the raid 0 with 1 tb WD Black(WD1002FAEX), or it woul be better to go for 2tb Blue instead (WD20EZRZ). Added the raid0 bechmak. Thanks

EDIT

 

Added 2 more captures, 2nd its  raid clean  after formating, and 3rd is with files back again. it gained a bit of speed. Would i get continuos speeds with black?

Honestly get a single drive no matter which one tbh. That raid 0 perf looks pretty bad

Id look at the 3tb seagate barracude, fast drive, reasonble price. 

 

But performance will be about the same as your current raid.

 

Those speeds are a good amount slower as the drives are pretty full.

Just an additional note with raid 0 you are twice as likely to have a drive failure because if you use one drive you lose everything.

I too would recommend going bigger than 1Tb check out the build a PC sales page on reddit, hang around there for a week or two and jump for a good deal. Don't buy refurbished
