Ok I don't know anything about raiding but I've heard a lot about the 2xRaptor configs.
I bought my rig earlier last year (sig) and I already have a 74GB Raptor as my boot drive, but my system has got bogged down with junk as usual so I thought it was about time for a fresh format and start again. But I thought if I'm going to format it, maybe I should invest in another 74GB raptor and stick it in.
Is it Raid0 that allows you to raid two hard drives together to effectively increase performance? (but still only have 74gb of space?).
My question is, is it worth doing this? Or will it be another waste of £100+ just to put it in raid0 to "supposedly" increase performance?
Has anybody ever compared the performance with and without raid on these drives?
The raptors are fairly loud hard drives, would adding a second one make it unbearable?
