Would someone smarter and more techie than me please recommend a simple guide to buying and setting up a raid array (is that what it's called) or raid drive for a senior citizen who mostly uses my computer for trading stocks and currencies online.
Some of my stock charts and "baskets (of stock symbols, etc) are slow to load etc. I just have one 250 G HD right now. Could I just add a couple of $40 HD's to this or do I need 3 new ones. I don't have a lot of stuff on my drive at the moment, but the drive is slow to sort the symbols and info. I've been told that a raid array would speed up things considerably.
I don't think I can afford 3 solid state drives now.
Thanks.
