Combining 2x SSDs

[seanyc5]

Hi,

I ordered a SanDisk SSD PLUS 240 GB in a black friday deal. I currently have an m.2 as OS drive and a Crucial m4 128GB as a secondary SSD.

Do you think it will be beneficial to combine the m4 with the SanDisk? I assume this can be done from either the BIOS or within Windows?

Currently the m4 only has Arkham Knight installed on it in a secondary Steam folder. I can just cut and paste the entire contents onto my main 3TB drive then paste back as long as I keep the same drive letter right?

Is this called Raid 0? I have never ever messed or even looked into RAID.

Thanks,
Sean

wouldn't bother with raid and leave it as separate drives.

Nah I'd not bother either mate.
If you had 2 of the same drives then I'd consider striping em.
what size is the m2?

With steam content yeah you can copy n paste the content whever you need.

m.2 is Samsung 850 250gb m.2 giving me about 580gb of SSD total along with 3TB mech drive.

Ok I wont bother then just seemed like a good idea. Like you say would be better if two of the same drive!

Agree that RAID not really a good idea with mismatched SSDs, it's barely a good idea with SSDs at all.
