Hello...Thanks to read.
I'm building a new computer and wish to use raid 0. i'm not the kind who download a lot of stuff so don't need huge amounts of storage. Two 120GB or even two 80GB may serve me well for years to come. But i've noticed that drives < 250GB have only 8MB cache. Will i see a noticeable performance decrease using those ? The pc will be maily used for occasional photo/video editing, other more common tasks, and more often as an htpc to view/record tv shows and movies via an AIW X1900 card. I'm pretty shure that i'll get anyway more performance with two 0-raided 8MB cache drives than one 16MB cache drive, but need your opinions/thoughts. TIA for your reply.
