My current game drive is a 4 TB Seagate mechanical. These would be a drop-in replacement. Can't ask for much more, at least for now. I mean, 8 TB for $500 would be nice, but given that a decent 4 TB mechanical still costs a fair bit....
I am using 2x 2tb hdd's for my game drives so I know what ya mean buddy. :toast:

Also is there anyway to force raid 0 as opposed to JBOD?
JBOD is linear, so you could probably just use mdadm to split it in half (or give yourself a gig or two of elbow room in the middle) and put the pieces in a RAID-0 array. Your motherboard might hate you for it, though.

I don't think it would make much difference. The single Reactor drive is already pushing pretty close to the SATA limit. So running in RAID0, you're still going over a single SATA connection, so the speed wouldn't really be any better.

True, it should be on sata express then this wouldn't be an issue.
