SSD + SSD or Single SSD?

Until today , I'm still confuse with raid 1 & raid 0.

If a Driver A "separate driver" Driver B = Raid 0?

Driver A Combine with Driver B = Raid 1 ?

EG ;

500GB + 500GB = 1TB = Raid 0?

500GB + 500GB = 250GB = Raid 1?

May I know if I combine 2 SSD will the speed increase? or Single SSD itself Run faster?

I'm running single SSD now and HDD as storage , boots up time around 16-18sec.

If I Mix 2 SSD will the boots-up/transfer speed increase?

Correct me , if I'm wrong. Thanks.

 

Raid 0 = high performance
Raid 1 = data security

500gb + 500gb = 1tb = raid 0
500gb + 500gb = 500gb =raid 1
500gb + 500gb + 500gb +500gb = 1tb = raid 0+1

Raid 0 performs better for hard drives, so shouldn't it do the same for SSDs? I think so.

I was really confused that you had 99,998 posts, now I get it...

 

Haha , Rep+ for quick reply , My friend was confuse me , he said he had 2 ssd and boots-up time with 5sec with m17x-R2 , that freak me out. well,that was a lie.

Lol , tats the trick

 

Yes, RAID 0 SSDs can have boot times that fast.

Just as a word of caution;

RAID 0 is data striping, so if 1 drive fails you are pretty much boned in terms of getting data and you will need to basically restart with everything.

RAID 1 is for data redundancy, it is NOT a form of backup. If drive 1 gets a virus/OS corruption then drive 2 gets mirrored as well.

Another word of caution - placing SSDs in a RAID array *may* end up performing worse than a Single SSD.

There's a little SSD micro-op called TRIM. Turns out it is kinda important especially when you start filling up your hard drive.

My laptop does boot up just in 6 seconds, with single SSD. So, that is not impossible.

 

OCZ Vertex 6sec?

 

Yep. Included BIOS post, laptop in my signature.

 

I don't see a laptop name in you signature.

 

Nope, that is because I have changed every single part in this laptop, including the webcam. It is however based on a Asus

 

Did you need a laptop name? He was saying his specs and his SSD were in his signature. 6 seconds is pretty crazy, though.

 

oic , I wish I could get 10sec or below , I'm not happy with my current 14-18sec. Is there any guide?
or the processor itself and not related with ssd?

He mentioned "Yep. Included BIOS post, laptop in my signature."

People ask then they are curious.

 

Yep.

It is a clean install of Windows Seven, 64-Bit. Not moved to SP1 yet. No bloatware or software that I do not use. 6 seconds is to login screen by the way. I need to enter my password, but right after the 'Welcome' screen disapears I can start navigating.

 

oic , my window 7 is full of crap , fraps , steams , anti-virus , alienware fx , mouse profile setting etc....

Not really sure if there is 1sec boots-up (press the power button and in desktop ready) just like screensaver

We are out of topic lol , should be ssd and not boot-up , I guess this topic should be closed.

 

Not really, I mean its good to finish a discussion rather than opening a new thread or dropping it all together...

1sec boot up is impossible... the BIOS takes a second. And then we wouldnt see the cool windows 7 boot screen

 

lol, but it is related. The bootup is a game between my SSD and system.

I have LOT of stuff loaded,
Skype, MSN, Wİnamp, Steam, Fraps, GPU-Z, Setpoint, Kaspersky IS, Bluetoot software, Asus hotkeys software, my touchpad software... nTune loading my OC profile at boot etc.

But, still strong.

 

lol , you got the point , i missed window 7 boot screen
