My new build is coming at the end of this month and I'm seriously think about just using an existing 7.2k drive I have (WD Caviar 250gb) for my OS and also not using RAID.
I've been pleased with the R0 Raptor setup, but they are taking up a lot of breathing room and making a lot of noise.
Has anyone else gone back to 7.2k and non-RAID0? Was the loss of HD performance real-world (not benchmark) noticable? I don't mind taking a small step back, but a huge one I might have to reconsider.
