Raid worth it??

[chaders]

Hi All,

With any luck my new system is arriving tomorrow. I've ordered a pair of Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB's for it. Is it worth setting these up as a RAID 0 array for speed or just leave them as 2 seperate drives and keep windows/apps on one and everything else on the other. It's been 3 years since I built my last system and I'm a little behind the tech curve.

Thanks in advance.

Benchmarks and tests are all well and good but will you be using all that bandwidth?.

Thats a fair point. The system is mainly for running Flightsim and I'll probably treat myself to a modern FPS. I'm starting to think a RAID 0 set up may well be more trouble than it's worth.
