Okay I'm in the process of building my new PC and the one I am on now I have two SSD's in Raid 0. With that said I promised myself that I wouldn't bother with getting two video cards and 2 ssd drives. I just wanna get one SSD and go but my question is. This will be used for gaming and I bought the Samsung 840 256 pro. Will I be losing any speed by not raiding two drives together or will I not notice the difference and that with todays SSD drive since my last build 4-5 years ago that by staying with one drive it will be just sas quick as two in Raid 0?
Should I bother With Raid

You will not notice any real world difference, especially in gaming. If you are a bench mark freak, then yes it will look faster to a program. But personally, especially with the 840 pro (thats what i have), the SSD by its self is plenty fast for the average user.

From a couple of months ago:
One SSD Vs. Two In RAID: Which Is Better?
You will not see any real difference. Especially on a gaming system.

You will not notice the difference, putting the SSDs in raid will improve your sequential read/write but not your random. Most things you load in game are short and quick other than loading the level and just having an SSD versus a traditional HDD is enough. Plus losing TRIM support due to RAID is a bummer.
