Hello Fellow builders,

I am trying to figure out a storage solution for my upcoming build.

I mostly use it for Gaming and thinking maybe streaming in the near future. I also plan on ripping my blu-ray(25x)/dvd(50x) collection soon. Mapping out the amount of storage I currently have and plan on using I am looking for some input on the feasibility of my proposed setup.

Specs:
M.2 evo 850 pro 256GB for OS and some common programs.
2x Evo 850 250GB ssds in Raid0 for Steam library
2x Seagate barracuda 3tb HDDs in Raid1 for active back of the three above drives and mass storage.
WD MyCloud 3-4tb for "offsite" back up.

I already own one Evo 850 and one Seagate drive thus buying duplicates will make Raid more "stable/compatible?"
 
Solution
That should be a pretty good (speed wise) storage solution. It's actually very similar to what I'm going to do, without the RAID1 since my gamer doesn't store my data. Overall that should be a fast and pretty good solution for both speed and redundancy of data.
