HDD raid 0 vs Sata SSD speed test | ROUND 5 | 4 Game Load Test

Показать описание
This time I test the loading time in 4 modern games, Far Cry 6, Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West and Forza Motorsport.
These games (except for Zero Dawn) state that an SSD is required at a minimum.

This time I used a different SSD, a 2TB Crucial MX500. I thought I would be nice to the SSD fans and use a better SSD in the test to make the SSD advantage larger for your pleasure.

So, the SSD did win (like it did in Round 3 FH5) but the main question today was, will these games work?
And the answer is yes, they do work just fine and still load in under 1 min (except zero dawn, no idea what was up with that, tbh I probably should've tested it again)
I found it funny that Forza would warn you that the game may not launch. LOL. I played a few hours of it with no issues other than the occasional slow to load texture at the start of a race. These games work fine and are playable.

How much did Raid 0 help? I have no idea, no way to test unless I break my raid setup and loose all my data, which I'm not doing.

Score so far:
HDD Raid 0: 4 (+1 for being able to play the games that claimed they wouldn't work)
SSD: 3 (+1 for winning)

always been curious about this. very few ppl do raid 0 tests. unfortunately my pc has space for only 2 HDD so my speed would not be as good as yours

Прикупил пару дисков по 2TB, оказались перемаркированы один 5900, второй 7200 оборотов... В пк стоял один Seagate st2000dm006...Решил думаю дай прикуплю такие же.. Собрал программный Raid 0 тесты не проводил пока скачиваю библиотеку стим..
К сожалению имеется SSD 2TB Team Group но библиотека уже не лезет... Завтра вечерком протестирую.. windows 11 raid 0 на старом пк под Xeon E5-2666v3 и китайской материнской плате(рефаб)

There you have it. HHD Raid 0 is dead. Long live SSD Raid 0. Long live PCMR
