Ok, so fore warning I am a first time builder of neanderthalic intelligence. That being said I am running an asus maximus vii hero mobo with a samsung 850 evo 500gb ssd as boot drive and applications. I do have a wd black 2 tb hdd for all other things, my question is: if I were to purchase a second 850 500gb would jbod work to increase the storage space to twice that and still run exactly as if I had a 1 tb i.e. not slowing down operations or gaming application from steam?
Before you even mention it I would personally like to avoid raid 0 for the fact that I do not need any more boost than I already have and would like to avoid cloning drives or starting from scratch into raid. Also the reason for this rather than buying a 1tb ssd and cloning is current finances, price of said ssd and 1tb is honestly more than enough for this builds uses. I am aware that jbod is a possibility but am wondering if it would still run windows 10 as fast and games as fast drawing from 2 diff. Drives? If no problems slowing anything down and simply increasing storage how would I go about (jbod) on two ssd's?
