MY build and all the benchmark numbers

1. My raid drive shows up as one large drive so im not guess what game is where.
2. If you look at post #8 in this thread my sequentials boosted 50% closer to my 705 while the randoms compete neck and neck. So i did gain speed.
3. Im sure it will be in the middle speed wise between the 500 and 705 in loading games.
4. Its fun to be different and do things my way, Long as i dont make things worse.

I didnt plan to do this, But when i went to format the drives it gave me the option. So i took it to try it out. If i see any detrimental issues ill go to two separate drive.
 
1. You can do that with JBOD, too. I label my drives and that's incredibly helpful.
2. Those are the synthetic numbers, we're asking if you notice that in anything you do.
3. Maybe? You going to notice that? Nerp.
4. Absofrigginlutely!

Just making sure that when you're thinking about it, you're thinking about it the right way (all the facts). About the only thing 'bad' about it is the 2x risk of failure. ;)

I label mine also, Yet i get in a rush and make mistake as to where games get installed.
TBH, Ive never ran anything off the drives yet, Just aint been in the mood to game. But you stated i wont notice any increases past benchmarks.
Game drives if one fails i replace it and just redownload it again.
I wish i had the mobo you have with 3 Gen5 slots, Not to raid them but prices on drives is coming down.
Ill add this was the easiest Raid setup i ever did, Alot has changed since the old days.

Although it's the same with one drive (you lose all the data if the drive borks), in R0 you have 2x the chance of losing your array because you need both drives working to access the data.
 
Yes, I know the dangers of Raid0, I lost my game drive which was a 4TB T500 i just had replaced by Amazon. It died so hard not even the bios could see it.
Yes im taking a chance i know this, zBut also benchmarks show a decent increase in Sequential over a stock single drive. No i may never notice it and im ok with that.

Id really like to add this card but read the bifurcation to the PCI lanes could hurt my GPU's performance.

I think we went over that before too... it's by a whopping 1-2% (google TPU PCIe scaling rtx 5090). It's how I run.... (5.0 x8). ;)
 
I dont think i fully understand that, Got a crayon to explain it it more simple terms?
Id just face loosing 1-2% on the GPU? ill google that now.
 
i read Techpowerup's testing and watched a video. If im reading this right its a 1-2% drop to run at 8X so id really never see the drop.
What i didnt see was Gen5 x16 FPS but im sure thats easy enough to find.
TBH this is just me thinking as ive been wanting to try that board but didnt have the drives too populate them all. That would be next month if i decide to go that rout



EDIT after looking at benchmarks on Amazon reviews im do much better with my setup and 4x2TB drives isnt gonna net me any posative. The score were so bad id kill my Raid stripe as i would feel it wasnt up to par.

You get an extra bootscreen, and extra CPU overhead driving the array. I have not run raid in a few years, I was using Intel flash for my last array. It was ok, but any kind of transfer pegged core0 pretty hard. Me no like, so I broke them up.

It was there... in all of them. That was the 100% value.... says so right on it, even.

The point to show you the info was for knowledge, not to get you to switch, lol. You're all walking around the world worried that you'd lose significant performance and it just isn't so....
 
Oh ok, I was expecting to see 24 or 36 lanes.
Those cards i linked are just NVMe ports and the card has no controller so any raid would be software threw Windows.
My current setup outscores that and i dont really need an 8TB game stripe.
Thanks for your input on this as its helped me make an informed decision. And that is ill skip it.

I looked your mobo up on Amazon and ain no chance of me putting that kinda cash out only to gain 2x gen5 slots.
