lo,

im after about 400 - 500 gig+ storage for my new rig. Just wondering would 4x smaller sata2 drives drives be the best choice for quickness or would the performance increase over 2 larger drives be worth it (would there even be a performance increase)? I will be using the drives for gaming/moving large files/image editing.
I know that drives very in performance so im just talking theoreticaly here.

thanx
 
aye, didnt think on about it being 4x more chance for data loss.. good point that.

but i am not just using the drives for storage, speed is more important than storage to me.. (eg map loading times in fps games and converting avi files unzipping large files) most of my storage will be backed up to dvd at some point anyway.. i just get lazy with backing up and like to let the data build up before i backup. The majority of my permanat storage will be mp3s and jpegs (which isnt agreat ammount at the moment).

anyone know if there are peformance gains to be had from 4 drives rather than 2, or is it just to risky?
 
now that youve said it somethins bound to happen lol.. the only prob i have now is reading loads of benchies to find good drives.. unless anyone here has any recommendations? :D
