i want to set up a RAID config for my gaming pc for faster reads=faster game level loads ect...
question #1 do you HAVE to have 4 disk for a RAID 1+0 array?
question#2
for gaming mainly what out of RAID 0 or 1 would perform best for reads, writes is not a big issue here i just want fast reads.
i have one 200Gb sata hdd that i can install os to and two 1Tb drives for the raid
or should i just use the two 1Tb drives as the os and game install drive?
200Gb=OS + 2-1Tb (raid 0 or 1)=media
or
2-1Tb (raid 0 or 1) both OS and media
and lastly is it true that RAID 1 is as fast in reads as RAID 0
