Should I do raid 0?

Question

Iron

I'm going to buy another WD Blue 1tb, is it worth making raid 0 of them? I am using an SSD for the system.

Answer 1

raid without backup - money down the drain. well, usually. therefore, if there is nowhere to backup important data from the resulting array, I would not have collected it. well, usually.

Answer 2

What do you need it for? For speeds, you have an SSD, and you will get absolutely nothing from RAID0 - the increase will be about 40% -50%, but why do you need a speed increase for file cleaning?

Answer 3

Of course not

Answer 4

why not make raid0? There was an array in raid0 on the backup server for several years, without problems.

Answer 5

I did this with black woodpeckers, because I needed to linearly read / write data quickly, and reliability was not critical from the word at all ...
... but for the sake of what such obscenity to do with blue ones, I'll never know, but keep in mind that positioning time will be worse than one hard, and you also have blue

Answer 6

There are doubts about the need for RAID = most likely it is not needed

Answer 7

On WD Blue - definitely not, restful sleep is more expensive. In general, Raid 0 is a solution for cases that do not require reliability, and with a clear understanding of why this is being done. Judging by the question, there is no such understanding in this situation, so it's easier to put this disc just second.
