So the 980 Pro 2TB surfaced and it got me thinking about my storage setup.
The 2TB one will probably be around 500€ when it launches, which is pretty much on par. The 1TB version is 200€.
Then I got thinking about maybe using 2x1TB in RAID0 instead to have a cheaper and faster solution.
Then I realized my future mainboard only has 2 m.2 slots, which would mean I'd have to either use SATA or another PCIe slot for my system drive.
Then I checked if there is even a performance gain of putting a 7000MB read SSD in a RAID0 and I came to the conclusion that it's probably gonna be heavily bottlenecked by the onboard RAID controller.
Then I also realized that I only have 20 PCIe lanes on my CPU, which would mean one of the 2 SSDs would have to go through the chipset, which sucks.
So after going through that whole rabbit hole I have decided to stick with the 1TB version for games and 250GB for the system unless the 2TB are noticeably faster.
