thanks for the reply

the 2 ssd drives are the same (sandisk ultra plus 256gb)

- are you suggesting that if I transfer the boot partition to a faster drive before transfering to the ssd raid?

• [the boot partition is currently on a typical 500gb hard drive]

par

the plan is to switch from one 256gb ssd to two 256gb ssd drives in raid 0. the 2 ssd drives have previously been used as boot drives in the 2011 mac mini & early 2011 15" MBP

par

the 500 gb drive the mac mini came with is currently in use as a bootable backup.

par

RAID 0 stripes the data across the two devices. By design the I/O to the devices and the devices them selves need to be Matched as there is no way to buffer the write or the read if one device is slower or if the I/O to the device is slower in a RAID 0 setup. In this case the I/O path is not the same here as you are using the slower optical drives SATA connection. Other versions of the mini offer dual SATA ports that are the same speed and offer RAID 0 as an option (server models).

par

both drives identify as 6 gigabit on system report

You've fallen into one of the issues with a RAID 0 setup as the I/O must be exactly the same for each drive. In this case the Optical drive I/O is slower so it can't span across. You'll need the newer dual HD unit that supports it. Then replace the HD's for SSD's if that is what you want.
