question about raid 0

[captainchris]

so guy and gals. i have 2 identical 500gb hitachi harddrives ( cheap i know )
but i have an ssd to deal with booting and main operations.
i just want to decrease the loading time of games. if i raid them, would it work out better?

keep in mind my main storage isn't online all the time ( external )

I haven't dabbled in RAID in forever, however RAID 0 is imho on a AS NEEDED basis ONLY... if 1 drive or the mobo should fail, crapo smoke yuh pipe, keep that in mind.

this i know. good looking out, but i dont care about data. its not my life story on it bro, LOL

the main stuff is on an external and i have 2 cheap 500gb drives sitting down nothing literally.. and i am no fan of multiple 1tb or 2tb drives. my epenis stops at cpu and video power LOL

but seriously... anyone??? would i load bf3 faster?

From the past, serial data would see an improvement, if you transferring large amounts of data constantly, yes... normal everyday usage... not so much

[phoenix31tt]

it will generally perform faster, how much of a noticeable difference is up to the drive's speed and how much the game utilizing the drive
