http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-342-WD&groupid=1657&catid=1660&subcat=1664 Im thinking about running two in RAID 0 with two partitions. 1: for gaming and 2: for O/s music, docs, programs etc. Would i see much increase in performance, O/S start up, game start up, loading programs etc.
I was thinking about trying SSD again (not keen on them) but deicded for the price/GB ratio its pointless at the moment.
