Hi!
I'm looking to buy 2 new hard drives (in raid 0 configuration), for speed and performance, for about £50 ish per drive, to put into an ASUS P5Q iP45 motherboard.
I was looking at the Western Digital Caviar Black/Blue 500gb/640gb drives, and was wondering if:
a) Is it worth getting the caviar blacks, for 32MB Cache instead of the Blue 16MB.
b) Should I get the 640gb ones (as i've heard they are faster, and just generally better than 500gb)
Also, a friend of mine mentioned the Seagate Drives were better? But you have to pay slightly more, and I heard sometimes they have firmware problems with some intel chipsets.
They'll be used mostly for gaming, so wanting fast loading times etc. Not bothered about the size differences, only using 300gb currently anyway.
Many thanks, in advance!
