Hello, so i was looking on Ebay for raptors and i came across many deals where you can buy 2 74gigs for like $60.00 and i was wondering if it would be faster to raid0 2 of them and put my OS and games on them then use my 250gig hd for storage i do mostly gaming plus things for school(powerpoint, Micro word ect...ect..) or should i buy just 1 150gig raptor.
things to keep in consideration
1. my raid controller is on board and i know that slows the whole system down
2. i have a Drive #1 - ST3500630AS (465 GB) 16mb cache, Drive #2 - WDC WD2500AAKS-00VYA (232 GB) 16mg cache.
3. im 99% shure that 2 74gigs in raid0 are faster then 1 150gig (remember im not looking for storage) and also they are faster then any of the single drives i have now
Thanks in advance!
