for a server (which needs 100% uptime) it makes sense. For a desktop system which one needs backups for anyway iam not sure. A failure of these disks is not a common occurance Fact is i never used raid1 on any of my desktop boxes and had i used it the main benefit probably would have been maybe less stress (which i think would be a valid justification). But then RAID1 only protects you from some failures about speed, these things are 7000MB/s is that a bottleneck ? iam using the previous generation of these samsung SSDs here and i certainly would not describe them as slow and needing 2x their bandwidth. but i have a better suggestion here. If its about speed, buy one, and if it in actual use is a bottleneck and affects work in a materially relevant way, request a 2nd one. All that said, i shouldnt have commented about the SSD, my concern is more the overall cost. over 6k€ feels rather alot to me. For example my most expensive box i think was less than half that and my subjective oppinion is that mine is more than fast enough for my work on FFmpeg.
