Hello,
My setup as below;
Cpu: Ryzen 9 5950x
Ram: 4x16GB
Mobo: Msi X570 Unify
Nvme: 2x2tb Gen4 (Samsung 980 Pro & Corsair MP600 Pro)

Do i need to raid my 2 different ssd's? Soon i will get 1 more each. Will it be better to raid them when they are pair? Also could you help me about settings?

No RAID.

raid 0 would make a big difference i think (especially might as well since they're matching drives

sorry, definitely no. there are plenty of benchmark result for this. I also personally tested it. think about what makes plotting faster.

[LazarusDarkside]

I am trying now as seperated drives.
20 plot parallel 10 for each. 6 phase-1 3 for each. I will try 4 phase-1 on each soon. Then i will go on raid 0 with 2 totally same ssd to see the difference.

@sodamaxx yes due to the file system. linux is about 10% faster.

22% cpu sounds pretty bad. but if you don't have enough SSDs, it is possible.

Yes, Currently I'm running 2x 2tb hard disk only, what should I do in order to fully utilise the cpu usage?

And also did you turn on pbo?

[creamsoup]

yes cpu performance is very important. PBO enabled is must unless you manually overclock all cpus (better but more time consuming).

Currently the default setting was auto, so i just need to change to enable?

[creamsoup]

there are few manual tricks to optimize PBO, but this is a pretty big topic. you can research this on a hardware forum.
