Something just struck me. For the price of a 150 gb Raptor you could get 4 of these
Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK
Do the 4 hdd raid thingy (can't remember the number for it) and u got 320gb thats fast AND safe.
How does this setup compare to in speed and reliability to the Raptor?
Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors.
RAID 5?
1 750gb F1 is faster than a Raptor.

Cheaper and bigger too it appears. Maybe two of them in "back-up" raid if they do have a rep for being unsafe(ish)

you mean RAID 1
I don't know any motherboard that actually does RAID 5 though. I would advise you to use RAID 1 but stay away from RAID 0 its not that much faster.

I Don't know but you're right!
That would be pretty bad ass
Better sequential read/write. Emphasis on the word sequential. The Raptor remains faster for random applications, no amount/level of RAID will change that (even 4x F1s).
