More Information

I ran HD Tune on a raid 0 and on a raptor. The raid 0 is the c: with windows. The raptor is the F: on the same computer. Which drive looks like it would be best for gaming? Or just faster overall? The raid 0 is two WD 80GB, partitioned at 30GB, with another partition with the rest.

Raid 0: minimun=3.0
maximum= 108.9
average=24.2
access time=10.0
burst=121.8
cpu usage=12.8

74GB Raptor: minimum=50
maximum=68.6
average=62.1
access time=7.8
burst=106
cpu usage=2.7
