RAID-0 in HP Victus 16-d0000

[Faridmaro]

I want to install another NVME M2 SSD in mi laptop to increase my storage and I want to do it in the best way possible. I read that by doing RAID-0 was the best way, but I don't know if my laptop has the option to do it. ¿Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Faridmaro 

According to the Service Manual it does support RAID-0, this should still be in the BIOS where you activate it.

Service Manual

Remember to make RAID 0 the disks must be of the same size, it is not necessary to use the sizes recommended by the Service Manual, you can use any size.

So, if I want to do RAID, I have to buy a new SSD that is de same size than de one I already have?

Thanks again.

I will give you more information

Creating a RAID-0 is convenient because it doubles the cache, it adds the cache of the two disks and this makes the disk much faster.

RAID-0 can be created with different disk sizes, but what is the problem?

if you for example have a 500 GB disk and add a 1 TB disk, you will see only one disk and it will be 1 TB and not 1.5 TB. You lose 500 GB, but if you add two 500 GB disks, you will see that you have a 1 TB disk, you do not lose GB.
