Great videos, very informative. Is it better to put the OS on the raid array? as I tend to see the opening and closing of programs is what takes the longest amount of time.

@ua751920 I used an SSD for my server to keep the OS fast. Also means if you need to reformat you have no problems :)

I'm thinking about running six Crucial 256 SSD in RAID 0 on a ASUS Rampage 3 board. I have a 1500 watt PSU in a high-end self built PC for family entertainment-- movies, games, ect. Not so much for work (That's my iMac). I know I can get additive drive space, but no back-up-- save an external disk. Is this arrary doable? (I'm new to RAID setup's) Is the risk worth the benefit in your opinion? Or is RAID 10 a btter soultion.Thanx again--,You've helped before in the past and I follow your advice.

@agonalart Its doable but tbh its silly overkill and the controller on the mobo will limit even bottle neck the speeds. TBH dude two or 3 drives would be overkill. Id honestly just say get a couple and then buy some quiet storage drives like the 2TB WD greens. All those SSD's are just a waste of money.

do I have to use the same hard drive sizes? ie 1Tb, or mine is 2 drives at 640gig, 3 at 1 Tb and 1 at 2Tb, can I set this up as a raid system???

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@DerGeist93 you can but matching drives is best, otherwise all your drives will perform at the speed of the slowest one.
