SSD DRIVE FOR GAMING PC

I guess my question is will I get an uber super duper performance boost for games, if not, I'd rather not go thru setting up raid and reloading my OS, especially since I just did that for Windows 10. Also, take into account that I am currently using my 500 GB SSD as my boot drive, so I'm pretty sure I will have to reload my OS, which isn't that big of a deal, but still kind of a pain.

I understand the concept of raid 0, I am wondering if it is worth while if my pc is mostly used for gaming. But hey, do as I say, not as I do, right?) (Says the person with their OS on a RAID 0 array. Ideally, you don't want your OS on a RAID 0 array, because of the increased chances of losing the data. The boost in performance will be basically unnoticeable for every day use, and the risk of losing data is not worth it.ĮDIT: If you get a second SSD, I would just keep them separate and have the OS and some programs on one, with games on the other. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it for gaming. It can be done with 2 or more, theoretically hundreds of drives if you had hardware to support it.

RAID 0 is not limited to 2 drives though. It provides some speed boosts, but also doubles the chances of losing any data on the array, as if a single drive fails, you'll effectively lose all of the data. So in your case, it would become 1TB if you put two 500GB drives in RAID 0. It would increase the capacity by doubling the smallest drive's capacity (again, this is for two drives). In RAID 0 (using 2 drives), the data is essentially split in half, so half the data is on one drive, with the other half is on the second drive. You will see no change in performance while gaming. You will get better loading times, that is it.
