I am in the planning process for a new build and I am seeking some advice.
The machine will be used heavily for video editing & recording. I need lots of room with lots of speed. It seems that the SATA 500GB Western Digital RE drives will be a good choice to build my RAID, but which RAID & how good is the onboard ICH8 controller for RAID 5...or perhaps RAID10?
I will be using an Asus PB5 (deluxe or -e), 2GB of RAM, with an e6600 OCd to 3.2.
I like the idea of RAID 5, but what type of performance will I seee across a 4 disk RAID with onboard controller? Will it be better or worse than a Raptor?
Any input is appreciated.
TIA
