What does RAID effect

[woca]

It will only effect my load times for things right?

so if i as playing a game the only benefit would be faster load times for maps

correct me if im wrong

Anything that loads of HD will load much faster.

Not only games but your OS, apps, games...

It depends on the RAID level:

But in general, they either increase speed while sacrificing reliability, or, increase reliability while sacrificing storage space.

If he talks about increasing load speeds, then by default it's RAID0 ;)

You should also notice a considerable increase in transfer speeds (for example, when leeching at a LAN, or whatnot)
