RAID 0 worth it?

[sgoaty]

My Asus scar 16 laptop came with 2 1TB drives in RAID 0

All I do with it is game and watch movies/YouTube.

I'm tempted to swap the drives out for a single 2 TB as I could be done with 2 x 1tb for another project. And it would allow me more storage on the laptop down the road.

Would I notice any performance loss? I know RAID is faster but is there any point for my use case?
Thanks

Zero benefit, just added risk.

Makes perfect sense to swap for the 2TB

For mechanical drives then yes as the alternate reads can help alleviate the performance loss from physically moving the read heads.

For SSDs I can't imagine the difference being noticeable outside of perfect lab conditions!
