m.2 pcie ssd raid 0 laptop?

are there any notebooks out there that allow you to config an m.2 ssd in raid 0 using pcie so i can hit well over 1gbps read and writes? going to config a new lappy soon and i don't know if i should go with a normal ssd in raid 0 or do the m.2 option.

 

A single 'true' M.2 SSD would hit over those limits. RAID0 not required.

What is your goal for such high sequential speeds? RAW 4K video editing (example) or simply bragging rights but no real world performance increase for your new system?

 

faster response times, extreme multi tasking, faster load times, 4k video editing and so on. when editing 11 streams of full 1080p video in adobe after effects, the computer chokes up in response time and having to load the footage during the ram previews and so on. i know my hard drive is the bottleneck because it hits 100percent in task manager. obviously my cpu,ram and gpu aren't bottlenecking my video editing with multiple large files.

 

Well, all these Clevo laptops seem to have 1 Pcie M2 port and 1 Pcie SATA port so yes, your'e not going to have 2 M2 Pcie.. Even MSI GT72 has M2 SATA...

 

What is your current platform (O/S, CPU, RAM and HDD) that chokes on that workflow?

Btw, with 11 streams of 1080p video editing, it is not just your HDD that is bottlenecking your workflow - it is only the first to indicate as such.

 

check my signature. i know my 7200rpm hdd is the bottleneck. i monitor disk usage in task manager when video editing and it always hits 100 percent and the computer lags

 

Fixed

The models you're refering to are the P6xxSx's, the P7xxZM's have 2 m.2 pcie slots, one 2x and the other 4x.

 

Yeah, I have sigs turned off, but a HDD bottlenecking your workflow does not mean a single SSD will though. Probably, but depends on just what type of editing you're doing. RAID0 may help, but given an M.2 with enough lanes, again; depending on the type of editing being done, it may not make as big a difference as you think it would vs. a single 4x lane M.2 identical SSD.

 

as stated before, the P7xx Clevo series sport two M.2 ports that support PCIe. one with 4 lanes, the other with 2 lanes, both PCIe 2.0. as a factory option u need to have 3G/4G module functionality disabled in order to be able to use both PCIe ports with respective M.2 SSDs. I would advise against RAID0 though, since one 4x M.2 SSD would achieve the same sequential file performance speeds as two 2x M.2 SSDs in RAID0. the latter will have some performance loss in the extremely important small file size performance sector due to the ressources needed in order to divide up the data load onto more than one drive.

conclusion: one 4x PCIe M.2 SSD is the best u can do when it comes to sequential transfer speeds. Fun fact: small-file size performance of 2.5" SSDs at the moment still surpass that of M.2 drives

 

RAID won't improve response time, it will hinder it. It basically will improve sequential read/write speeds, and that's about it.

 

RAID is for benchers who want to show who has bigger... You know what I'm talking about... For SSD's it's virtually useless...

 

dat e-peen bebe!
