Hi,

I got two 240gb ssd ready to put into my pc, but im wondering if i should run them in RAID-0.
I plan to install the Windows 10 on one and use the other one for games and normal files ECT.'

Is there any point running them in raid-0?

Hey there, michmoel!

If you put the SSDs in RAID 0, you'd see them as one volume. Having SSDs in your system is a performance boost enough, IMHO. However, here's an article that benchmarks in details the one SSD vs Two SSDs in RAID performance: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-raid-benchmark,3485.html
If you want to have one for the OS and the other for files and games, then you don't need to RAID them. Just make sure you have one SSD unplugged until the Windows 10 installation is finished, then plug and initialize it as your secondary drive.

Hope this was helpful. Let me know if you have more questions! :)
