SSD VS RAID

Last response: in Storage

SSD.
The main advantage of an SSD (especially as an OS drive) is its non-existent access times, which does not improve by RAID'ing Hard Drives. Also sequential read/writes are already faster than two RAID 0 HDD's.
Since I'm guessing capacity isn't going to be an issue, that nulls the main disadvantage of the SSD.

Use your cash to get a good 256GB SSD for the OS/programs/games and a single TB or 2TB hard drive for storage.
