Check the performance of your drives too. Some slow down as soon as they are 50% full.

For my PNY, these want at least 50GB of free space on the OS drive so it could reflect the OS (Win10) but I will suspect Win11 to need a bit more.

The slow down would be seen with restarting the PC, mostly the err cause of matter.

why raid 0 with ssds?
it wont help speed by much, it only combines space

but you can mount the drive as a folder or use symbolic links to it if you need something on it
or use it as a steam or game drive

if you want to hard cap its space, when you make the partitions, just set them to 90% and leave the 10% unallocated of the drive, then nothing can touch it

from what i learn speed become literally 2X 7000mb became 14.000 MB on gen 4 so why not.

i have a backup and archive option Sata 7200rpm wd blue 1tb just in case if

RAID 0 fails.

On paper, in general use you might not see or feel much of a difference, other system bottlenecks will come into play depending on the task.
The place where it will look the most impressive is large file transfers (providing the source or destination is as fast) and benchmark tools.

It will be as snappy as it can be though.

Doesn't matter. And what I mean is if you use up 99% of the space and aren't happy with disk performance clear some stuff off. It's not like once you use the space one, forever will the SSD be crippled.

I know having a hard and fast rules feels nice, do X and you'll never have a problem. Although arguably, knowing using drive space isn't a problem, and neither is deleting stuff to free up space, kinda makes overly conservative rules where you need dozens or hundreds of GB free "or else", a little silly.

it's a fun idea. RAID0 has always been the fun RAID to pine over. But it's silly. It's silly because you're not using gen4 bandwidth 99.99% of the time. Trying to improve that through schemes like RAID0 doesn't really benefit you much. But you're still subject to the downsides of RAID0.

You would only do this as a fun idea unrelated to your space concerns and only for giggles as it has really no practical benefit for most users.

kratos kratos nanana heheh

You can raid0 ssd if you want more space into one drive. No. There's no performance boost.
