I was wondering if anyone has done this (could be a noob question):
As I understand it raid 0 will be reading/writing faster but can only access 1 thing at a time.
The OS on one drive (I mean really a separate drive, not a partition) and other often used programs and games on another? Would this allow the pc to access 2 things at once without the HD heads moving around the whole time?
I was thinking that for example during boot the OS needs to be accessed but also things like virusscanners etc.
So if they are on seperate drives both heads can read/write at the same time or does that not work?
This seems a bit like raid without the data corruption risk.
What would you separate? I was thinking OS and Data on one disk and games and programs on the other?
Or would a raid 0 work better? Unlike raid 1 etc 2 x 300Gb still is 600gb in raid 0 right?
