Hello all,
RAID Configuration Question
I was hoping to indulge in a few PC upgrades pre-Christmas as was sorely needing more storage space. I currently have a small 250Gb Maxtor drive and was considering running a RAID 0+1 with 4 samsung f3 500Gb drives.

I have (for now) an m2n-e sli motherboard, it has 4 SATA ports so I should be good. I primarily use this pc for gaming and programming so good performance is premium. I was wondering if running such a RAID would be of any real benefit or, would be better off with two larger f3’s?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
