Comment on How much does storage speed affect your games?
frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days agoAny use of RAID0 needs to be thoughtful. You’re doubling the chance of complete data loss from a single drive failure. Can you get all the data on that setup back? For games that you can install off Steam or some other way, that’s fine. But be very careful of what you put on there.
Incidentally, caching servers are another good use case.
Otherwise, RAID0 is better used as a building block for more complex RAID levels, like RAID10.

I know the drawbacks, if I lose anything that I put on RAID0 it’s a minor inconvenience at best - in fact, the two hard drives on RAID0 I mentioned are quite old and I’m not sure how long I can expect them to last (not that I use them often).

That’s fine. I want to bring it up because this is a public forum, and it’s important that nobody tries this blind.

Fair, I like to live on the edge with my PC
