question about RAID 0 SSDs in a Mac Pro

Ravich · Aug 31, 2010, 10:58 PM

I'd ask at gearslutz, but it is down. Let me start by asking: if I use a 60GB SSD for storage, how much free space do I actually get? If I use 2 in RAID 0, does it simply mean that I double that number or does it change?

You'll get double whatever the formatted capacity is, so likely somewhere around 100-110GB

The amount of available disk space depends on the drive. Some drives have higher over-provision than others so the capacity varies
