Re: What is the fastest set up.

hello



I personally havent seen much noticible real world spped improvement when using two drives in a Raid 0 configuration

you can see it when using four drives


I would use the raptors as stand alone drives with small cluster size

in benchmark software like HD Tach the raid speed numbers look very impressive but its very hard to notice when running applications and burning dvds and such

even the 15,000 rpm scsi drives dont improve boot time by a big amount >>> maybe 30 seconds improvement ?
