MSI GS70 SSD upgrade

I am running out of space on my MSI GS70 Stealth Pro. It has only 128GB SSD.

I still have a free slot for another disk, I am thinking of buying one more 128GB SSD and make a RAID0.

Budget is lowest possible, so I am thinking of buying this one: https://geizhals.eu/apacer-as220-12....html?hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=eu&hloc=pl&hloc=uk

But at the same time, I am thinking of buying just a new 256GB one and use without RAID.

Your opinion?

 

Don't use RAID-0 unless you have a strong backup plan in place because if one drive dies, you lose everything. Your second option of getting a second 256 GB drive to use separately is the better one.

 

Running in RAID-0 with SSD isn't going to help much with performance so it's better to just do JBOD. I concur with what saturnotaku said.

 

Ok! I will buy 256 GB drive. Thank you for help!

 

You're most welcome, feel free to post any questions again if you get any.

 

raid zero is a terrible idea, you gain very little in performance and just added risk of losing the entire raid.

These days 512GB cost nothing, I would go for that.

Even 1TB is rapidly coming down in price.

 

No RAID, separate SSD's for the OS and Storage/Games/whatever.
I have always had a separate drive for my OS. It fragments less (Or TRIM), has less I/O's so it lasts longer and malicious downloads don't get access to the OS, the DL's are on a separate storage drive.
I go back to the days when I would buy a 500GB 10,000RPM HDD and short stroke the drive, partition 150 GB and only use that for the OS.....
SSD's have eliminated a skill .... I'm getting to be an antique now.
