    WD Raptors in RAID 0

    Good Evening

    Just wondering if anyone on the forums has two of these babies in RAID 0, I know theres a 74GB version due but 2 x 36GB (+ my 2 x WD1200JB) will be fine.

    Anyone have any info or benchies?

    I should look about before I post...:/

    Here's something I found, maybe useful to other ppl too thinking about getting one of these great drives (or two preferably to RAID).

    tbh in a way i think raid0 is a little overkill...

    one is fast enough, it outperforms my backup drives in a LONG way, makes windwos (and linux) a lot quicker in day to day performance and regular file transfer / file managing. i just think that now the bottleneck has been moved from primary HDD to cpu/system bus / secondary discs, theres little point in raiding.

    thuogh given the 5 year warranty, if i was raiding any drives, it would be a raptor (or obv. scsi)
