Jason Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I'm not actually thinking of doing this, but I got wondering after a friend mentioned he's planning on doing this. He's a professional video editor and was talking about needing to upgrade his equipment to handle 4K video editing and mentioned doing RAID 0 SSDs. He's in a position where maximizing IO performance makes sense but does RAID 0 actually do anything/is it nearly as big of a boost as compared to doing RAID 0 on HDDs? I thought the performance boost was all about having multiple physical read/write heads going at once, which obviously isn't a thing with SSDs.

cusideabelincoln Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Yeah he can see a good size boost with sequential read/writes (not much of a boost with random read/writes), so long as he has a good platform to put the SSDs in. He'll need plenty of PCIe lanes from the CPU, so he should be looking at the Pro-sumer chips from Intel and AMD and not the normal desktop/gamer ones. And he should definitely have a backup solution in place with the increased chance of data loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 You'll notice exactly 0 difference 99% of the time on a decent Gen 4 m.2. It's a complete waste and only gives pretty benchmarks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
