There are a lot of misconception and some right information out there when it comes to the combination of solid state drives with RAID setups and what better way is there to get to the root of them than to create a real world test setup and find out. I have been running this setup for a year now and it is time to take a closer look at how well the two drives in my setup have performed.

Performing a test like this would already be a fun one with normal SSDs, but it would be even more fun to do it with NVMe drives that on themselves are around four times faster than SATA3 drives. Since I got a motherboard that supports two NVMe M.2 drives and has Intel RAID onboard, why not go full hawk and go for the best. At least, that was my thinking.
