People,
Do you think I would be making a bad mistake to use two of these raid edition drives in a games PC which is very, very heavily used. I would be using them as standalone drives, not raid. I would be sacrificing a little performance for a little long term data security (I hope). With all that cache and SATA-II surely it won't actually be slow?
The particular drives I have in mind are:
2 * WD Caviar RE 250GB SATA II 16MB CACHE OEM at 57.56 each + VAT
Does anyone know if they are particularly noisy?
