Budget nvme pci e in raid 0

[gasolin]

Asus TUF Z370-PRO GAMING and a i5-8400

 

In Denmark i can atm get a Kingston SSDNOW A1000 480GB M.2 PCIe SSD for 100€ with delivery, if i only have to pay for delivery one time if i buy 2, it's less than 200€

 

With a dicsount code i can get a 27€ discount 193€ for 2x480gb budget nvme that i can use in raid 0 for highest possible speed.

 

The 960 gb version costs with a discount 273€

 

My current ssd samsung 850 evo 1 tb i can use for my games, i do have a few large games like gta v and doom that take up some space and i should be able to have atleast 30-40 games installed, always be ready for me to play.

 

My question is, how much does 2 nvme pci e ssd's effect the performance of my gtx 1080?

 

Is there any performance degradation?

 

I have alot of videos and a fair amount of music on my 1tb sdd so i only have 140gb left and gta v and doom might be using that, if i want  to installed them so i can play them when ever i want to and with 50 mbits download it takes some time when ever i want to install a big game, so not having to uninstall large games when i get new games would be so nice.

Don't bother with RAID 0 ever

They're just decent low end NVME drives, if they're cheaper it's probably worth buying

 

it's unlikely to affect your GPU performance unless everything is doing 100% load at one time maybe.

It wouldn't make sense only to buy 1x 480 ssd

At that price it's worth a shot. Are there any cheaper 1TB SSDs?

I wouldn't put an OS on it though, I'd keep that relegated to the game drive. That way if the RAID array fails you don't lose anything critical.

 

Don't forget to quote or tag people when you're replying to them.

No cheap 1 tb drives

no cheap 1tb drives.

 

My drives i payed 1200 of my currency including a dicount code, the 1tb ssd (960) costs just about  2000 of my currency with a discount code.

 

Atleast 50% more expensive, so the 2x480gb ssd was a pretty good deal and i guess the difference in speed compared to a x4 ssd is almost non existent when i run the x2 ssds in raid 0 .

just read a review of the ssd and it comes with Acronis True HD cloning software

 

Can it do what i need it to do?
