Hi All,
Just putting together my new system (using a Abit IP35 Pro XE mobo using the Intel ICH9R) and did originally plan to Raid 0 a pair of Seagate 80GB ST380815AS drives (or similar) as the primary OS drive and then use my current drives for data storage.
Last raid setup i ran was back in the Athlon era with 2x40GB seagates in Raid 0 and it seemed to run pretty nippy! But reading around, it seems that now i wouldn't notice much performance increase when loading applications/games/day to day use? Would it better that i create a raid 0 (+ suitable backup solution) setup for my video editing and music production (have 100GBs of samples that plugins use etc) and then say 160GB seagate/samsung drive for the OS?
And does anyone know if you can have multiple Raid 0 arrays with the Intel ICH9R chipset? And obviously if i do run Raid 0, then other sata drives aren't affected?
Oh and how naff is the JMicron JMB363 sata chipset? Again from reading around, a lot of folk aren't too keen as it's meant to be a bit flaky!
Sorry about all of the questions, getting more confused the more i read
Cheers all!
