Since I've been planning my new rig I planned on getting a 74gb raptor and x2 500GB drives, but I've heard that if I got x2 identical hard drives and put them in RAID 0 I can achieve the same performance as the Raptor offers.
Current plan: x1 raptor, x2 500gb drives = £194.04
Total storage space: 1.074TB
Proposed plan: x2 500gb drives in RAID 0 for OS and programs and x2 500gb drives for back-up and storage = £182.84
Total stoage space: 2TB
(500gb drives mentioned are Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB SATA II 7200RPM 16MB Cache @ £45.71)
What do you guys think? Thanks.
