Morning people, i currently have a raid 0 set up with two corsair neutron gtx 250gb, because the storage amount is small on ssd and i play a lot games i was thinking of getting another sdd same size just soley for installing any games on, since games nowadays are 10gb+.

i know ssd are faster than normal hdd but because this one wont be included in the raid set up, will it impact the gaming performance, since it wont be as fast as the ones in raid, and if so will the delayed loading times be noticeable.

i have 3 games installed on the raid set up but would like the rest and furture games installed on the single spare ssd, but i dont know if it will impact the gaming/loading of the games in any way.

many thanks in advanced.

sounds like a 30 minute experiment for yourself.

What I did was prioritized.
I put all of my least favorite games on my $88 2TB drive, along with all programs (made a Program Files folder on it). For my 120gig SSD, i put my OS and my top 3 favorite games.
