Ultimate SSD Speed: Combining FOUR SSDs into a Supersonic Storage Drive!

In this video I experiment with RAID 0 Striping to combine four Samsung 990 Pro SSDs into one very fast storage volume! I'm using the ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 Gen 4 card to mount the drives.

I also create a two-drive system stripe with a pair of Crucial P5 Plus SSDs... and I compare the speed of my motherboard RAID versus using Windows RAID with Disk Manager.

From my Short on this, where I posed the 'guess how fast?' question... a shout out to: ‪@MeinDeutschkurs‬ for correctly predicting stripe performance; @deavo74 for guessing the theoretical top speed correctly; @jimtaylor431 for guessing very close; and @andrewchandler2347 whose guess was closest to what we actually got.
