Hey guys - I was hoping someone can clear this up for me!
I currently have 2x Samsung 830 SSDs in raid0 for OS and 4x 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint F3s in raid0 for media/games.
The following reasons are making me consider a change:
(1) I want to consolidate space - Raid0 paranoia, heat, space (my twelve hundred gamer case drives are full!)
(2) one of my intel sata ports is failing on my Ga-X58A-UD5 which is throwing errors at my Raid array.
I'm thinking of selling 3 of the spinpoints and buying one caviar green 3TB drive to over come the above problems. This means I'll have my OS on 2x Samsung 830 in raid0, 1x Samsung spinpoint f3 for games and the caviar green 3TB drive purely for media/documents.
The question arising from this exercise is - Will I notice a massive hit in the way of writing/reading media files to the drive with the swap over to the caviar green?? Note: Just media, not games/OS. But lots and lots of media!
Thanks for all help
