RAID, depending on which one (eg RAID1, RAID5, RAID10, RAID0), can improve read and/or write performance. Were there benefits to be had, they should show up more there, than with 2 1TB WD Blues. The SSD he's using is also a pretty low-end one. Not exactly the best video production, but it actually ends up worse than I would have expected. That's not trivial, given that even SATA SSDs have typical seek times in the range of a few hundred microseconds. However, in addition to that, there is also an added lookup necessary to get the location of said data on each SSD. That slows things down to the slowest of the two drives. If you retrieve something that's stored across both drives, both requests must complete, and then that string of data must be stitched together in RAM, for your program to get the data it requested. I'm also a bit puzzled on hearing that a RAID 0 array would both improve the performance of the volume, but also only have the speed of 'the slower drive' in the array? Huh? NVMe has made that a trivial matter, for most of us (up to 4TB, we can pay more, and get >1GBps real file transfer speeds, with >2GBps on big files - real files, on real journaling or COW filesystems, not benchmarks). Would getting another one for RAID 0 be a good idea? Would my performance actually improve?Įven back then, random performance was better in smaller arrays of bigger drives, or single big drives but the use case was big data transfers. TLDR: My 1TB SATA SSD is nice, but filling up fast. So I'm not sure if RAID 0 still makes sense these days, especially with capacities on a single drive being so high.

What does appeal to me is getting 2TB of storage without buying it all at once, and the supposed speed improvements.īut most of the articles I've Googled about it are from 2014, when the PC press was still dazzled by the idea of solid state memory at all, and 128GB cost what I paid for 1TB yesterday. I'm not that worried about reliability, because it's not like SSDs would have mechanical failure, they both have 5-year warranties, and I'd only put games on it reinstalling them would be a cinch. But I've considered another option.ĭown the line, I can get another 1TB WD Blue, perhaps when they go on sale again, and tie it to my other drive for a RAID 0 array.

I can't afford a 2TB WD Blue right now, and I don't exactly want to wait until I can my 2TB drive was getting uncomfortably close to full before this SSD took some of the load.

It's nice to get their load times down and free up space on my poor 2TB Seagate Barracuda, but… WOW, 1TB doesn't feel like a lot when you start putting 50GB games on it. So I just picked up a 1TB WD Blue SATA SSD for some of my larger games. Pick, Assemble and Install: Video Guide.
