HP Omen X 17 Raid 0

[sku18]

Hi I have two NVME SSD's in my laptop and I would like to configure raid 0, how may I do so?

Plus- Can I use my HDD as a recovery disk or would I have to get an external drive or CD drive.

I also don't mind installing windows 10 fresh without my files- just dont have an external drive to boot windows installation from.

did you ever get it working? I got raid 0 working but speeds are the same!

No I never tried, heard that NVME speed was really fast already and that raid 0 wouldn’t boost the speeds by much. Maybe that’s why u got similar results

Hello all,  Ive seen a few users in the past try to run raid 0 on HPs with SSDs and the results were always the same.

The bottom line in my opinion is that there is NO advantage to running an SSD in raid 0.

You're better off to just run the OS on a single NVMe drive and reduce the chances of a catastrophic failure.

I have never seen anything you could do differently to make it run faster.  Just my opinion.

[edit]  they claim to have raid 0 on the hp omen x. lol

anyways i guess i'll unraid.

i have a 4tb raio 0 nvme. since speed is 3200 mb/s. was hoping for 5-6k a second.

and me second hard drive is a 2tb ssd. so i have 6tb total in my laptop! lol

Well, I dont know that Ive ever seen any other systems benefit from raid 0 and SSDs either. I have tried it on a couple of Gigabyte boards in the past with Sata SSDs and the boot times were actually slower because of the bios.

Its a debate you can find all over the web. One user will advocate it, then another will argue it.

Personally I believe its only really effective overall for HDDs more so than SSDs at this time.
