Fast and cheap! I use my computer to edit 4K videos and as you would expect the files tend to be quite large. Since my PC had 3 open bays, I decided to set up a 3-disk RAID 0 as a storage pool and buffer for finished videos. Luckily, my new motherboard had a built-in RAID controller, which made setup easy. I started by testing the drives and then comparing them and they were all almost identical in read/write speeds. I also checked my spinning and M.2 drives for breakpoints. After the RAID drive was set up, I tested it to get the final results. I have to admit, I was surprised to see that an SSD array is about as powerful as an M.2! Attached are photos of the results of 4 tests. As for durability, time will tell. But judging by other reviews, they seem pretty bulletproof, which was the deciding factor in their purchase.
