Overkill????

[RufusKing]

You think building a computer with 2 10,000 rpm drives RAID'ed to act as one is overkill at all? Should get some nice loading times!

depends on what you use the system for, if your only doing it for faster boot times i don't see a huge point to it. If your gonna do it tho hang on a bit, there are some bigger capacity WD raptor drives due out soon iirc

Someone on AMD3D did that with 2 raptors ... worked well, although costs alot and is hella noisy! Also don't use that sort of RAID for ANY importand information as it can be lost / corruped so easily in that mode!

Overkill? no. Got 5 x 10k drives sat in a hardware raid 5 array here.

Not at all

not at all overkill. win xp used to load in 9 seconds (according to bootvis) with dual raptors on my PC. its now nearer 15 seconds as the bluetooth takes all that extra time to finish doing its stuff :/

i've not yet had a problem with corrupted info either.
