Hello ello ello

Since getting my NAS I seem to be neglecting my system drives. I have a 320gb F1 as my main disk and 2x640gb F1's as storage. The storage drives seem to be redundant now so I was thinking I could maybe(if possible) put the 2 640gb into a raid0 configuration using the on-board nforce 680i raid.

I would then use the 320gb drive for page file and other random items. but my question is would i see a decent performance improvement?

I currently use my PC mainly for :

World of Warcraft somtimes 2 clients at once
Some RTS games ( C&C, Sup Com, Warhammer DOWII)
Video conversion
Image editing (from time to time)


Cheers.
 
Raid 0 is significantly faster than a single drive (not much on loading times for games btw). You have double the chances of failure tho. Fair tbh :)
