Hi

I want to do the following:

Replace my 2x WD's SATAII 7200rpm @ 120Gb w/ 8mb cache each in Raid 0, with the following:

a) 2x WD/Maxtors SATAII 7200rpm w/16mb cache each in Raid 0

OR

b) 1x WD 150GB Raptor 10,000rpm w/16mb cache

Which one would you go for, these drives would be used for Games, internet & encoding.

Any views appreciated !
