i am running out of space on my 128 gb SSd , i have 2 in my system (see pic).
i was going to buy a bigger drive but after some investigation . i heard of raid 0.
my OS is W7 it has already been installed. i have read many articles, but i am still confused.

i need some suggestions.

SSD + RAID 0. Bad idea.
Read this all the way through before you go down that path.

It brings no performance increase, and does bring increased fail potential.

You Disk 3, presumably the other SSD, is currently unallocated. Can't be used. Initialize it and give it a drive letter.
Also, just move some stuff off your current SSD.

thanks guys for your advice.

i have moved everything i can- i believe- off of the OS SSD drive. I use the HDD drives for most apps and files.

Probably purchasing a 500 GB SSD but they are expensive.
