Hi,
I've decided to replace my ageing Seagate drive as I just need something quicker as I'm fed up with Windows loading times in games (primarily WoW) so have decided to go Raid 0 (I backup regularly so the risks are fine).
I've got the Asrock 939Dual-Sata2 mobo and am planning on purchasing 2 x 7200.10 250GB 16MB sata drives and running them through the 2 sata connections. Would I be right in thinking that this will be quicker than running a single drive though the 'Sata II' connection? Or to put it another way, is the performance gain between Raid 0 on Sata vs a single 'sata II' drive significant enough to make it worth doing (given my needs)?
From the FAQs I *think* it is but from previous mistakes thought I was better off checking
Cheers
