I dual boot and have a ton of Pro Audio applications and games I'd like to load quickly. I know it's an absurd amount of money for storage, but it makes me happy. Putting them in RAID0 doubles your chance of data failure, aka either drive fails and you probably lose everything. What they're saying is that even large game file load times won't be cut much, if at all. By doing this you have less risk of losing all of your data because your data won't be mixed through both drives. KamabPutting them in RAID0 doubles your chance of data failure, aka either drive fails and you probably lose everything.
Real world differences are too small, maybe even worse in half of the tests. One positive is for the raw video captures like at the end of the article.
I don't see the "surprise". This has always been true of RAID RAID 0 is also used in some gaming systems where performance is desired and data integrity is not very important.
However, real-world tests with games have shown that RAID-0 performance gains are minimal, although some desktop applications will benefit. Then, click Next button. Step 4: Edit the new partition on the target disk and then click Finish button. Step 5: Preview the new partition and then click Apply button to execute the pending operations.

Click here to know more about RAID. Or, you can use them to compose RAID 1, which can provide data redundancy. SSDs can help servers increase speed, but the high cost and read and write life issues let most businesses stay away. Joined May 6, Messages 3, Supermr2 Limp Gawd.
Joined Jan 4, Messages I'm very curious about this too. Going to two 2nd gen Raptors cut that time down to 1 minute. It was pretty obvious who running RAID setups back then because you could spawn and snatch whatever vehicle you wanted before everyone else joined. Joined Nov 19, Messages 14, However most games do not read in large sequential chunks like this and that since raiding SSDs do not generally help with small chunks you do not gain much if anything.

Do the same exact thing with RAID0. Be amazed. There's next to no penalty a tiny latency hit in R0 for the randoms yet almost double the performance during the sequentials.
To make blanket statements that RAID0 offers no benefit is ignorant at best. Yakk Supreme [H]ardness. Joined Nov 5, Messages 5, Faster overall, yes for sure practically twice the speed in some cases. Noticeable while gaming? The Raid 0 array is a clear winner in this scenario, did you expect that? Clearly the raid 0 array is doing its thing by not only increasing throughput but also increasing the IOPS operations per second.
The SSD can keep up but how can it be behind? I checked the footage and it showed a noticeable slowdown on some of the larger file transfers during the install. As you might know the write speeds of an SSD are directly linked to the number of memory modules used. There is also good news for the traditional hard drive. When it comes to installing games both the SSD and the Raid 0 array appear to be 3 times faster than the traditional hard disk drives.
But which is best, the SSD or the Raid 0? Therefore Raid 0 array is the clear winner in this sub-test. Installing games can be an important measure. But what about map loading times? You are fare more likely to regularly load a map then regularly installing your games.
However I must admit that map loading times seem to become less relevant due to the increase of available ram. Once you have loaded a map most of the required stuff sticks in there. Meaning that all storage media will be roughly just as quick on the second map load. Methodology : The game folders were duplicated across the different drives.
A symbolic link was used to direct the OS to the correct drive. After each test the system was rebooted. Keep in mind that Battlefield 3 uses large packages of game data that can be read sequentially.
Portal 2 is the complete opposite and consists of thousands of small files. Therefore hard disk drives will struggle on Portal 2. If we look at the game loading times then nothing can beat the SSD. Upgrading to raid 0 will decrease loading times by 13 seconds.
The old hard disk drive is 6 seconds slower. In Portal 2 the SSD wins the race. Surprisingly the raid 0 array is 4 seconds slower than the single disk! The cause for this issues lies in the way portal 2 is structured.
Battlefield, and most games, use large files. Meaning that it kind of makes sense where the files are physically. Portal 2 uses tiny files scattered that across the hard disk drive. On large files the speed benefit completely mitigates this small difference.
