M.2 raid 0 with ssd/ Overal performance differences

fudgecakes99 · Aug 6, 2015

So from my understanding raid 0 allows you to divde up data across 2 drives with an even split of data. Reading from both causing a potential increase in risk on account of multiple drives and increase in overall drive speeds. This would be useless with hdd's but i hear it's worth a shot on ssd's. What would be my speeds complications if any. Are m.2's significantly faster then ssd's? I hear most ssd's can only transfer an average of 500 mb read write. and m.2's can do about a gig. Is it more optimal to do 2 m.2's in raid 0. Would the benefit not be their on the account of ssd's being slower then an m.2 would the speeds actually decrease because of that? Any general info on m.2's is appreciated.

The Samsung SM951 goes 4 times faster than a fast SSD at I believe 2,100MB/s or it could be 2,500MB/s but that might be Intel's drive. Fast SSD's run at 550MB/s. I am not sure if there is more than one M.2. slot on a motherboard but if possible it would be amazing. But unless you need it for something specifically fast, in day to day work it would not help much. But it would be neat.

Just wait though a technology called NVMe is coming out soon probably with the Pascal Nvidia cards and they have the ability to talk to the CPU ten times faster and back. It will change a lot of things and reduce a lot of bottle necks like sata cables.

Yes as i stated pcie ssd. Or nvme. Meh, i guess i'll just stick to a m.2.

Yeah check this guy out.

Yeah the reason they are using M.2. and NVMe is bc sata cables are at there limit now. kinda a bummer. But there is also one made by Intel thats a similar speed.

I ended up buying a 512gb ssd. No point in wasting extra money on read write speeds if i'm not going to use it. solid states will meet my needs for now.

@ fudge - how is it you have an i7-6700k cpu in your sig when they aren't out yet? LoL

fudgecakes99 · Aug 14, 2015

They're out, in Europe, but no i don't have one yet. I just put it their now so i wouldn't have to add it in later. If it helps all the other parts are in my rig right now. For validity? Kind of stupid how you can get a motherboard for a chip before the chip is even out in your part of the world. Just hope the darn thing comes in before my 30 day return dates up.

When I went to an SSD from a HDD I was amazed but getting faster than that besides load times and games like skyrim or load times in games are really your only benefit for most people. As much as I want an SM951 the price doesn't seem to be worth it yet. In time i am sure competition will lower it but I think getting an SSD i probably the way to go like you did.

yeah i figure, any word on nvm'e drives having raid capabilities? As insane as that may sound, tow m.2 to nvme drives in raid 0 sounds like fun.

I believe so. They say they reached over 4GB/s
