RAID0's usually used for speed, when you don't care about protecting the underlying content (e.g. it's ephemeral or you've got it protected somewhere else). I think SSDs have eliminated the need for RAID0 on most single user machines. Cheers Ken From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com

For a dev machine I think it's overkill. Using one of our main applications at work as the test case to justify a move to SSDs, times for running the unit tests (times averaged over 5 runs of each) were: (mins:seconds) 1x magnetic drive with everything on one drive: 3:42 1x SSD with everything

drives in RAID0 vs just single a single SSD. How much data do you load (or save)? Cheers Ken *From:* ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] *On Behalf Of *Preet Sangha *Sent:* Wednesday, 29 January 2014 2:10 PM *To:* ozDotNet *Subject:* Re: [OT] Raid 0
