Raid 0 and internet surfing, watching videos

[Harry_Wild]

I fooling around with the idea of getting another 180GB Intel SSD and doing a Raid 0 setup.

I have several questions on this:

1. Wiill this help with my performance in viewing websites and watching videos online? I read that performance could at least double that of a single SDD in throughput!

2. How do I go about mirroring my existing SSD before wiping it out and placing it back in when the Raid 0 is setup? Do I use a 64GB USB flash and what program can I use to do this mirroring?

Not in the slightest.

For certain workloads. Generally, heavy sequential, and some heavy random transfers. Not light workloads.

2. How do I go about mirroring my existing SSD before wiping it out and placing it back in when the Raid 0 is setup? Do I use a 64GB USB flash and what program can I use to do this mirroring?

It's called "imaging". You can use Macrium Reflect or Acronis True Image, I believe.
