The thread says it all, which drive(s) would be quicker to use my operating system on?
My system spec is as follows:
Q6600 @ 3.3Ghz / Noctua U12P
Gigabyte P35-DS4 Mobo
8gb OCZ PC6400 Gold Edition
Hyper 720W CPU
Antec 900

Now here's the choice:

2x 500GB (SATAII) Samsung HD501LJ 3.5" 7200rpm SATA300 Hard Drive 16MB Cache 8.9ms (RAID 1 or 0 [If used as OS maybe RAID1 otherwise RAID0 for backup)

OR

1x Samsung SpinPoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB Hard Drive SATAII *32MB Cache* 8.9ms

If the SpinPoint is used as the OS drive, the RAID drives will be used as backup, and visa versa.
Thanks,
Addicted
