Which of these setups would offer the best performance:
1 x 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 with 2 partitions (25% system, 75% storage)
1 x 150GB Western Digital Raptor (system), 1 x 320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (storage)
2 x 320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 in Raid 0 with 2 partitions (25% system, 75% storage)
I do a lot of downloading so the storage partition will be more or less continually accessed in the background while I continue to do other work/games.
Does anyone know of a site that has a sound file of the raptor drive in use compared to another more standard drive so I can get an idea myself how loud it is.
