Hey guys! Been aaaaages since I last posted here, but the time has come for me to build a new system, and I just have a quick question:
Are WD Raptors worth the extra money?
Are they noticeably quicker on their own, or do they only really shine when you put them in a RAID array?
Basicaly, my intention is to have a 150gb raptor as my system disk (OS, Apps, games, etc.), and then a 500gb seagate for bulk storage (documents, music, etc.)
Would that be better than buying 2x 320gb disks and putting them into RAID-0?
I'd prefer not to go the RAID route, as I don't want the hassle of doing regular backups to a third disk just in case one of my RAID drives goes down.
I'd rather have my system disk seperate, so that if one dies, I still have the other one functioning.
Cheers for reading!![]()
