What is the speed of 2 Raid 0 3GB/s Hard Drives?

SithNinjaTyler · Oct 28, 2014

I have 3 Hard drives, one 750 GB hard drive, and two 40 GB hard drives. Just out of curiosity, what is the speed of a Raid 0 config in a Sata II (3GB/s)?

Running Windows 8.1 with the 750 GB for space and the other 2 for speed.

Can't seem to find a straight answer in Mega/Giga bits per second.

Are the 40gb drives even sata 2 drives?

boosted1g :

the motherboard is SATA II, but how can I tell if the hard drives are? They should be I believe.

Google the model number of the drive and find the specs

Depends entirely on the speed of the drives. Are the drives 5400RPM? 7200RPM?
Even better would be to get a SSD.

SithNinjaTyler · Oct 28, 2014

7200 RPM and only sata 1.5 GB/s :/

ss202sl :

yes, I will be getting a SSD for my OS only soon. (16 GB)

SithNinjaTyler · Oct 28, 2014

so how fast is it?

ss202sl · Oct 28, 2014

Get a 120GB SSD(or larger) - should be less than $100. then just use the 750GB drive for storage and don't use the 40GB drives.

I know Solid State is better, BUT... that's not what I'm asking. I don't want to spend a lot on Solid State for a while. When I get more money, I will. Now, how fast would the drives be?

SithNinjaTyler · Oct 28, 2014

can anyone say?

SithNinjaTyler · Oct 28, 2014

No one?

Someone who had these drives could try it and see.

SithNinjaTyler · Oct 28, 2014

Ijack :

okay then, new question: how much average performance gain do you get from a Raid 0 configuration?

Ijack · Oct 28, 2014

All depends upon your usage patterns. As with the drives, each person will get different results in practice.

Again, there's a very simple way to find the answer to your question.

SithNinjaTyler · Oct 28, 2014

Ijack :

How's that?

Ijack · Oct 28, 2014

Try it and measure the difference.

SithNinjaTyler · Oct 28, 2014

Ijack :

*sigh* I guess so. I was hoping I could get some idea to know if it was worth it or not though...

SithNinjaTyler · Oct 28, 2014

last chance before Ijack gets best answer. Any takers?

SithNinjaTyler · Oct 28, 2014

Sold.

too much depends on the drives technology to give you a good answer. I could ballpark that you would see close to 80gb/s with those 40gb drives in a raid 0 and about 150 for the 750's in a raid0.
