You can buy two 120GB SSD to combine them into Raid0. The performance will doubled up and better than a single 240GB SSD.

Never heard this before. I've been raid0 with intel 520 120GB + Kingston V300 120GB for my computer but never heard life span will shorten. First time see got ppl say like that.

I got find this answer from google but everybody think the opposite way "increase lifespan". Actually it does not affect much just combine them 120GB+120GB become 240GB. From the bios setting change from AHCI to RAID mode. Then when computer boot, a screen will comes out then press down CTRL+I to enter RAID settings.

My best choice is select RAID 0 mode.



Most people not aware about "RAID 0" due to their computer knowledge still not reach until advanced level. If you are smart enough, RAID 0 two 120GB SSD is better than a single 240GB. SSD is not HDD, their lifespan is better than HDD. I thought you should misunderstand about decrease lifespan. Before SSD exist in this world, last time we are RAID0 two or more HDD. HDD is not same like SSD, when one of the HDD faulty then the rest HDD will all lost it data. However, SSD is different from HDD. So, why don't you RAID it?

With RAID 0, I can get 1000mb/s reading speed instead of the normal AHCI 500mb/s reading speed.

ok..that clear my doubt..so Raid 0 can be use with different brand of SSD? is there any problem using different ssd to do raid? I plan to use sandisk ultra ii with Kingston hyperx fury 240gb both..

Yes, you can use different brand as long as both SSD are 240GB. You can get 480GB at double reading speed.
