Samsung 980 Pro Raid 0 Benchmarks! | Two Better Than One?

Hi I got my two wd-blacks to work in raid 0 and got 1500mbs it’s really working well

Taiwan best. China no good. Stinky stinky.

Wow such overkill on the water cooling LOL... 250watt GPU and Thread ripper don't even get that hot. LOL 16 fans for the rads. Also, you're transferring the heat away then putting it back to the bottom of the case so it can flow back up????? You can run that with 1 pump -8 fans and still be good.

can I put two of these 2Tb version in a external enclosure? Please help I need a fast external. thanks Will they get too hot?

SSD benchmarks mean absolutely nothing in the real world. Going from HDD to SATA SSD was pretty huge speed increase. Going from SATA SSD to NVME made little to no difference. Going from Gen3 to Gen4 will make even less of a difference.

You can see difference only in benchmarks. Does nothing for games. Even if you install game into ramdisk

Nice, but you do know if you set up the raid 0 in bios before using a program or windows to do that it's faster right?

I've got 2 980 pros and want to do this but I haven a clue how

So question for you? I have one 1TB WD black 850 that I will put my windows and apps on. I hae 2 more 2 tb wd black drives that I will put games and video recordings on. Should I raid 0 the 2 2 tb drives or just leave them as stand alone drives? The 1 TB boot drive will be on the CPU while the other two will be on the chipset lanes. Thoughts?

Some graphs and charts showing comparisons would have been very useful. Thank you for sharing!

Using RAID for SSD is overkill. I have 2 systems, 1 x Samsung EVO 860 Pro, Windows 11 boot time to full desktop < 8 seconds. 1 x Samsung 960 Pro 1TB, Windows 11 boot time to full desktop < 7 seconds.

Its probably a controller problem.

How fast does your computer boot now with this Samsung 980 PRO ?????How many sec????

I have two 980 pro's in a gigabyte Gaming x , X570 motherboard. And I see it offers RAID in BIOS. Would this give me the same outcome? If so.. How to? :D

Im looking to simplify my volumes, not speed. I have 2 Samsung 970 1TB drives for boot, games and programs, and a HDD for pics and videos (all separate volumes) in my current PC. It would be nice to raid the 2 SSDs and have just a C and D drive. Sometimes I transfer things between the SSDs and HDD. Or a lot of the time, I’ll forget which SSD has a folder I’m looking for in file explorer. My next Windows install is getting raid.

Hello SuprUsr Stan!
Thank you very much for this test.
Can you tell us about any problems that you have/had with Samsung 980 Pro Raid 0?

Maybe bad sectors or unstable windows or no problems?
Are you still using the Samsung 980 Pro Raid 0?

I'm afraid of having bad sectors and "destroying" 250€.

Hello, is 61 Grade the max temp by 980 pro Raid ?

The problem with putting M.2 in raid is they run off the PCI Lanes. Most motherboards will bring your GPU bandwidth on the lane down to x8 from x16 due to dual M.2. Not worth it.

All these numbers can be negated with primocache

Dude, they do that on purpose. Thats exactly why win install is 4k only lmao

My SN850 1Tb raid 0 has very high read speeds in general (around 13k), it has high random 4k writes but substantially lower sequential write speeds (around 6.5-7GB/s). While this is faster sequential writes than a single drive it's not on par with the performance of sequential read speed increase. I'm buffled as to what might be the reason (5950x-Crosshair VIII Dark Hero)

Getting my 3rd Samsung 980 Pro tomorrow ;)

For cubase?

What kind of "super user" accidentally zaps his drive?? Pfft.

Thumbs down just for the dumb MUSIC.

How much RAM do you have? I have a RAID card with 4 x Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.0 SSDs and it only runs about 10GB/s. If I were to remove most of my RAM from 256 to 64, I get the full 20GB/s I was expecting. It seems connected to whether you have all the RAM slots populated.

So in raid 0 only 20-30% better performance ?!

Got 12.8k mbs on my 980 pro's 2tb using windows to pair them with pool or something like that.

It's amazing to me that AMD still hasn't fixed that driver problem. Whats up with AMD's driver team and why do they always fuck up?

Cool video man thanks for the info, I am wondering what happens to overall IOPS when running raid 0, I have seen people say total iops goes down when in a raid0 configuration, this true?

Consider the effort, I will stick with single ssd for now.

I think there was a New Samsung 980Pro Firmware for the NVMe m.2, and Samsung Magician to update firmware...Not sure yet if it will have an impact on these. Is there a software where you can check the 1GB DDR4 Ram that is built in on the card that is covered by the Samsung sticker, wondering about a SSD-Z ID of all the I/O capabilities and Specs as onboard, etc. Samsung Magician, you can update the firmware for performance optimization under "Full Power Mode" for high performance according to Samsung Magician. Give us an update if you do update.

It might be, that your mainboards nvme ports are connected to the same
controller in the threadripper, when they are on the same cpu die, that
might slow down the IOPS

Can you help me? I cloned my hdd to my raid-0 drive but i am not reciving about double speed on crystal disk mark. The raid 0 was created with intel rapid storage. I used macrum for the cloning.

On the raid 0 drive everything boots and works perfectly fine, the only problem is the benchmark is the same.

Thank you in advanced.

Are both your m.2 drive slots PCIe 4.0? I'm not sure what motherboard you have but a lot of them are only 4.0 on the CPU slot and the chipset slot is 3.0, I'm wondering (hoping) that could explain the IOPS? I really don't want to have to use an add in card, 7GB is pretty damn close to 10GB so it might just be better for me to buy a single 2TB seeing this. Thanks!

Can you do an update of this with two of the 2TB 980 pro’s

hello can i partition samsung 980 pro 1tb if it is safe to partition or not.

Has AMD fixed their drivers?

You seem really cool to hang out with 👌

Does it boot faster?

I know I'm late to the party, but try running raid 0 in a add in card. You might be running into a chipset issue. Running in an aic with bifurcated lanes directly to the cpu should improve that performance.

Hi Mr.Stan, do you suggest that using Raid 0 as a system drive?
Thank you

is this nvme ssd rlly fast than 970 evo plus ?

That little booklet is the warranty also

You forget remove label's from ssd's this cost 4-7 degrees!

I have got a lenovo s540(1x 2280 PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 ) which one should i go for .evo 970 plus,evo 970 pro or this one 980 pro!!!?
I am a programmer and need a good durable ssd
Thanks for the video

Hi Stan, can I raid 0 two different brands of NVMe drives like 256gb Patriot VPN100 and 256gb Adata XPG SX8200 Pro on MSI X570 Tomahawk motherboard or any x570 motherboard?

So running them in raid 0 doubles the read and write performance? 😎
