RAID 0 or not at all? And what can I store on drives other than my boot drive?

I have recently been building a computer and discovered my motherboard supports RAID. I want to do it with two SSD's, but was wondering if it was a good idea. I was also worried about space and was wondering how I might be able to store desktop files and many others on another drive such as a normal HDD. Any input is appreciated!

Three in RAID 0 does show great performance, but a few extra seconds doesn't matter to me all that terribly. I think I will go with a single SSD. Also, thank you for the info on changing save locations! That will be very helpful when building this machine. Thank very much both of you!

SSD raid 0 is history today after Samsung and Intel released bootable PCIe 3.0 4x 32Gb/s SSD. and at a very good price.

Samsung 951 has three models , 120,256 and 500G .. and they read at 2200MB/s and write at 1600MB/s and have IOPS of 300K incase you choose NVME , or 100K IOPS in case of you choose AHCI .

and you will not face any data loss it is a single drive ..

this is equivalent to 5 SSD in Raid 0 .. to get 2200MB/s ..

Samsung 951 come in M2 PCIe 4x 3.0 format ...

if you dont have M2 PCIE 3.0 in your motherboard , you can use ANY 4x lanes PCIe 3.0 slot , add a PCIe to M2 card in there and install the Samsung 951.

Intel 750 full card is another option .

never Raid 0 again !!! it is history.

and the samsung 951 are not expensive at all.
