I just installed Win7-64 on to a pair of Samsung 850 Pro SSD's in Raid0 using the motherboards Intel controller. I have noticed that when I start typing (Word, IE Search, etc) that nothing happens, then all of a sudden the letters appear. Is this a problem with Samsung parts, or is it because they are in Raid0, or something else?
 
Shouldn't be a problem with either... although raid 0 with SSDs really doesn't make sense to me. Twice the failure potential with virtually no noticeable performance increase. Ide personally install on one and fill the other up with games.
 
it doesn't seem to be raid related, more likely video driver problem,
switch to windows classic theme and see if it still happens

This always bothers me... everyone should know going into RAID 0 that there is no redundancy (not saying OP doesnt know this). What would the difference be if he separated the SSDs and they both failed individually? Maybe he's thought about the possibility of failure but, one drive can fail just as much as two can and still lose everything.

Huh?
The odds of 2 drives failing at once and losing "everything" as you claim is a bit different than 1 drive failing, and losing everything on both drives... statistically speaking.
 
people who use raid0 without a backup/redundancy probably don't have anything terribly important on it, just some porn and games, all replaceable
 
take it out of raid and try it as a single drive, see if the raid is the issue.

And as said Private, i dont think you understand how Raid0 works base on your claim of still losing everything while being separate drives..

Statistically speaking? Yes, two drives in Raid 0 have a higher chance of failing but, they're still failing just like one drive could.

What I meant was if the drives were in Raid or not, either could still fail. Granted if they're separate and one fails, you keep the data on the other.
 
k, good, was worried you didn't get that part, but in the end better than 1 drive failing taking out all of your' data..
