I am trying to build a system optimized for editing photoshop files.
the typical case would be opening files of 50 to 500 MB, editing, saving - which depending on format could go from 50 to 500 MBs.
I thought RAID 0 (striping) would help.
I considered 3 to 4 disks summing up to 1.5 TB.
I saw the benchmarks on this site ( http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ich10r-sb750-780a,2374-12.html ).
The ICH10R wins every time (database, file server etc) except on "iometer bandwidth" on RAID 5, and "iometer streaming reads/writes" in RAID 0.
What benchmark best describes my case? Am I right in wanting to go with the ICH10R?
