SSD Raid options

[daviddoran]

I am in the midst of a Pre-Legion PC upgrade.

Here's my current system

Intel i7 4790k
Gigabyte Z97 MX Gaming 5
16GB G.Skill DDR3
Gigabyte GTX 970
2x 250GB Samsung 840 EVO
40" 4k monitor

Switching to

Intel i7 6800k
ASRock FATAL1TY X99m killer/3.1
32gb Kingston Hyperx Fury DDR4
ASUS Strix GTX 1080
?? SSD
40" 4k monitor

I have a bunch of random SSDs lying around, so I got plenty of options. First is just to move over my existing SSDs and call it a day.

I'm nervous to keep using RAID0. Haven't been burned yet, but I feel like it's a ticking timebomb. I am considering a RAID 10 with 2 more 250gb EVOs, which gives me the same capacity, roughly the same write speeds, but probably faster read speeds.

Should I just get 4 fresh drives ($$$$) or just get 2 and add to what I got? I also have a 500GB 850 EVO, so I could just get another of those and RAID 1, but I've heard about IO stutter with multiple instances of wow reading off a single SSD (which may be mitigated by the RAID 1, who knows?)


EDIT: I should note that my current system works fine for 5 boxing but am going to try about 8 boxing, with pretty high settings, I just want a bit more headroom for other stuff, (Youtube stutters when playing for instance)
