Raid0

[SRH_4]

for people who used raid0 to remove hwid ban , i use only 1 m.2 2tb on my pc and for me to raid0 i need 2 , the question is do can i buy another m.2 with same storage but different speed and different brand? , or identical as the same as i got ?

Should be identical,
best regards

The whole raid array is going to be limited by the slowest drive, but unless the speed gap is huge its not gonna be that bad

This is not the perfect example but I have two old hdds in raid0, they have been in use for ~21k hours and ~50k hours respectively, the D: drive runs at 3600 rpm, E: runs at 7200 rpm. As you can see the sequential performance is worse than what the 'fast' drive would get alone but not quite as bad as the slow one
The random reads and writes are kinda whack because the faster spinning drive is slower than the other one so no clue whats going on there, since its hdds my guess would be that its caused by the physical location of the test data on the disc, its a ****** example



If you really care about the speed get a matching one, otherwise it doesnt make that much of a difference since m.2 drives are fast anyways. I only have two matching ssds so I cant give you a better example of how a differing speeds affect the performance

The drive will be limited to the smallest SSD. You will have twice the space of the smallest SSDs so combining 500GB with a 1TB SSD doesnt make a lot of sense. Also the speed will be limited by the slowest SSDs.

Two standard SATA SSDs with both 500MB/s read/write should be perfectly fine for gaming and so on. You dont need a M.2 SSD with like 3000-7000+ MB/S read/write.

thanks alot for your information and reply , i already have an m.2 gen 4 when i started building the pc , and now that am banned on eft i decided to raid0 on m.2 by buying another one , will it bypass the 229 banned massage ?

great example , thanks alot for the information , yes speed matters to me and i decide that ill buy and i dentical m.2s , the question is can you still bypass 229 hwid ban from BE by using raid0 ? .

Yes if all of your connected drives are in raid0 then you wont be BE hwid banned, there are are launcher bans they are very rare and you can spoof them for free so I wouldnt worry about them

This is incorrect. When you combine a 1TB SSD and a 500GB SSD in a RAID 0 configuration, the total capacity of the new array will be 1.5TB. RAID 0 works by striping data across all the drives in the array, which means it distributes the data across both drives in total.

Correct.
