![]() (Redundant Array of Really Expensive Drives). ![]() I have no need except to play with the benchmarks.Īnd I just don't see the merit in building a RARED. But I've already proven to myself that I can build and maintain it. I'm tempted to add two more drives to my raid. To get any real benefit, you need to go with 4 or more drives. But it's going to cost you over 4X more $$.Īnd again, I agree that there's no reason to bother building a 2 drive RAID for mechanical or SSDs. Now, if you want to create a RAID of 2 or 4 NVMe drives, you can match my capacity and totally blow away my SSD raid. My RAID is slightly cheaper than 1 NVMe - making up the difference. In raw speed, I give the edge to an NVMe drive - but only a slight edge. Comparatively, my read speed is slower while my write speed is faster than one NVMe drive. I bought my 240gb SSDs on sale for just over $42 each. I've seen NVMe drives costing over a thousand bucks each, and I wonder why anyone would pay that much. I'm sure you're aware that the I in RAID stands for 'inexpensive'. No RAID in sight.Īnd all individually backed up to my NAS box. SSD + RAID 0 was never relevant to start. I can only imagine I would have even more gains on a raid-0 array, on disks that are dedicated to running the games. The loading times were substantially better, and thats on a SSD that is also used by the system, and it's not in a raid configuration. I made space on the OS ssd yesterday and transfered the game on it. I have been using SSDs for the last 6 years and never had any problems, so this is an increased risk I can easily live with.Īs an example of a game, I'm a huge fan of flight simulators. Altough the chances of a failure would be greater. This would also means that if I have a drive failure, I have only a 75$ drive to replace, instead of a 150$ drive to replace. The only things I care about are capacity and performance. ![]() I don't care having to download everything again. I also have pretty fast unlimited internet. nothing I can'T simply reinstall in minutes. I would put Steam, Origin and Blizzard games on there. I do understand the risks of a drive failure in a raid-0 configuration. So almost the same capacity(480 vs 500), but I would have two disks in Raid-0 instead of a single one. What if I was gonna get two of those? would cost me the same (150$), but I would have 2x 240gb in raid 0. I checked on amazon.ca, and I found a 500gb WD ssd for 150$. Essentially, I have a small SSD for my OS, and a 7200rpm hdd for my games and data. With SSDs becoming more and more affoardable, I'm thinking about adding a big SSD to offload my games on. I'm a gamer, and I cam'T stand long loading screens.
