I'm thinking about buying an SSD just to install a few games on (I'm sick of 7 minute load times in Warhammer Total War and with the sequel on the horizon it's a tempting proposition). I'm tech-illiterate so I basically have no background knowledge whatsoever, and a friend recommended buying two smaller drives and setting them up in a raid 0 configuration. He says this is faster than one large drive. I've done some cursory research and most of the sources I've seen claim it's not worth the hassle and potential risk, however they're all between 1 and 3 years old so perhaps things have changed since then. Should I use the dual-drive setup or just buy one, and which drive would you recommend? I'm leaning towards the Samsung 850 EVO, which appears to be popular and very well reviewed.
I'd be buying either two 250gb drives or a single 500.

I would recommend avoiding raid , normal ssd speeds would be plenty fast since you just want to game .
i would reccomend a samsung ssd but that's only because it's what i use and i know they worked for me .
this is a good one

Don't use raid its not worth the headache, risk, and extra cost. Yes it's faster but if you don't know what you're doing, just don't. A Single SSD will work just fine for you. Buy a 500GB drive and don't cheap out. I use a crucial MX300 but an 850 EVO is also just fine.
