Sorry, search is off...
Okay... what would be the best configuration:
1 X Raptor as primary OS drive and a 250GB Maxtor SATA for everything 'slow' (data storage, video editing, non FPS games)
2x Raptor Raid 0 and 250GB Maxtor Sata
I currently run 2x 120GB Seagate SATA in RAID 0... I love the speed but I am hearing that even a single Raptor is essentially as fast, and you don't have the problems of RAID 0 (specifically, if one drive fails you are hosed data wise).
I am leaning towards buying 2 Raptors but if it's as fast or nearly as fast I may just load my OS and my FPS titles (I don't keep many installed, two or three usually at a time) on one and then have a second loaded for swapping out for other duties (essentially a test rig setup too) using an IcyDock with spare tray.
I am not 'against' Raid0, using it now, but is the Raptor nearly as fast as a RAID0 setup like I have now?
