Looking to by a ASUS A8N for a Athlon 64 x2.
For storage I was looking to put two sata 3gb/s (100 gig/7200) drives on a
RAID 0 for all my applications/games and then another 300 gig/7200 drive as
a media drive for all my photos, music, and video.
Is it worthwhile to buy three drives for the above and create the RAID 0 +
MEDIA drive or should I just buy a 200 gig 7200 3gb/s for the apps and
another 300 gig 7200 for media? What speed difference am I looking at?
Is there a huge difference between a SATA II RAID and a 3gb/s RAID?
If you do a lot of chewing on very large files RAID 0 is good.
Otherwise there is some benefit, but IMHO it's probably smarter to put
your os & apps on a 10K or 15K drive than a 7.2k raid 0.
Definitely. RAID0 will do nothing for access time.
