yez

explain. a pair of SSDs in RAID0 is generally faster than a single larger SSD.

 

A pair of 860 Evos in RAID 0 vs a single 860 Evo.

4k reads slightly slower. otherwise faster across the board.

And then there's this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?CompareItemList=636|20-147-673^20-147-673%2C20-147-671^20-147-671

 

Two identical SSDs, with one being larger in capacity than the other. Unless i'm seeing blue, those specs are IDENTICAL.

He never said anything about raid. He wanted to know if he should get 2 ssds or 1.

Why would you even consider 2 smaller SSDs over one twice as large if you DON'T plan to RAID?

Yeah idk why you're trying to fight me dude. If he wanted 2 seperate 1tb ssds without raid, it would make more sense to get a 2tb. Raid is faster, not gonna argue that. Raid 0 isn't the most reliable though
