Samsung 840 Pro 256GB in Mac Mini 2012 Raid 0! - Page 2

to the op why do you need raid0? the 900 by 900 speed does not help you unless you have a place to copy it to ie a raid 0 thunderbolt external.

I guess if you need to read large files 250k plus it is helpful.

the random 4k speeds are slower in the raid0 then 1 ssd alone. Have to admit 900 read / write looks good.

Very Correct, even confirmed by Anand again on his 2nd go with the drives.
I got a 256GB 830 Series I will be throwing in my mini in a few months.
