Raid vs Sata

[victorgw]

What is best? Buy a SATA150, 80gb or use raid with two ATA133, 40gb?

 

[smitbret]

Depends on what you're using it for.

the raid will be faster than the sata (and more $$ prbably), but are you a gamer, 3d modeler, or just someone who checks email and types up docs?

 

[victorgw]

Well a gamer and AutoCad in 2D sometimes 3D.
Why? what are the disadvantages using RAID?

heya victor;

Why not run SATA and Raid?

Just buy two 36GB WD Raptors and run SATA raid level 0.

do you want an explanation of what raid (0) actually does or just the real world results of it?
