AMD's Threadripper platform will reportedly not support NVMe RAID at launch

I would like to see OC3D do some testing on NVMe Raid 0 to see if the difference is appreciable, even if it's a more casual thing like the old multi-GPU vids.

Its hard to get drives - all our NVME drives have full OS and testing suites on them. We actually have an M.2 NVME and a 2.5" SSD for every platform.

SSD are actually pretty difficult to get enough of let alone have spares blank for stuff like this.
 
I don't really see the point of raiding nvme drives, it wont make windows any faster if you boot of it, and almost nothing in the consumer market will utilize the speed of such a setup to 100%

Raid 0 is NOT raid.
 
Raid 0 is NOT raid.

Is it not? Forgive me for asking but isn't RAID or Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks when in RAID still RAID..

You get the full benefits including performance gains of RAID 0, which is striping drives or doubling your capacity across drives (merging the total capacity of all drives) the only problem is if one of the drives fails you lose the lot.

It's still RAID.

'sake. Plus.One. IMO anything that combines more than one hard drive to me is RAID. Whether totally technically accurate or not. My Asus RAIDR is a RAID array, with two separate 128gb SSDs combined together into one drive.
 
Raid 0 is not a Raid?
That's like saying a tree isn't a tree but a large flower :p

Dude is entitled to his opinion of course but if you took a basic Computer Science course you would learn about Raid 0/1/10 at the least on a binary level. So yes Raid 0 is still a type of Raid.
 
as a raider of m.2 drives NO!!! There is no real world difference. Only in benchmarks can you see the speed. Only reason I did it was because at the time I was building my rig my supplier only had a single 256 in stock. The following week he was expecting some more and larger capacities but alas he only received more 256's. So I bought a second one and whallah now they're both in raid 0. But everything I felt in performance going to an m.2 drive didnt not double or feel any faster than the single drive.

RAID 0 is actually an AID, because redundancy can't be achieved :p:p
 
Off topic
No RAID says nothing about redundancy.
People just mistake this because the mistake redundant for being interchangeable with redundancy.

RAID just mean that there is more than one disk. Redundant can be seen as; not strictly necessary to functioning = One disk would handle the task of storring the data.
Then by having more than one, there is a number of options. Redundancy or Performance. Or with more than 2 disks both.

On topic.
We tested the loading in Wildlands, i had a normal SSD, and my friend had a NVME.
It was 1-2 sekunds, and i had a i5-4670k with DDR3, he had a i7-6700k with DDR4, so the difference is negligible.
