Does anyone have performance stats comparing the following:
a) Copying between two drives
b) Setting up two RAID 0 using a pair of drives & copying from one RAID to the other?
That'd be useful to give an idea of the worst case performance loss as a result of configuring the drives in this way.
I'm considering RAIDing the drives in my next system & in the past have used a pair of drives, one for OS & scratch space, one for data. Thus I'm often doing disk intensive stuff involving shifting data between drives.
I'm wondering now, if I go with a pair of drives configured to give me a RAID 0 for pagefile & scratch and a RAID 1 for OS & data, what performance loss I'll see for cross RAID transfers. Can't seem to find this info anywhere.
FWIW If I go with this option I'll later add another pair of drives with a further RAID 0/RAID 1 split for scratch / data back ups, which will eliminate most of those losses.
