well, i'm currently running 2x 74 gig raptors in raid 0. but 150 gigs is just not enough with how big games are getting these days. esp. unreal tournament 2004 almost 12 gigs for a game that old wtf.
the only thing i run on my raid is windows 7 programs and game files. so i'm not worried about loosing any data. if a drive falls out, i'm only loosing time on reinstalls.
at first i was thinking of buying a couple of 320 gig single platter drives. but i didnt really have enough money and then, what would i do with 2 74 gig raptors? not enough space to even bother trying to use for storage.
so i checked ebay and old raptors are selling alot cheaper than i expected. so i posted up a wtb here and found a kind person to sell me a drive he wasnt using.
my question is- how much faster than my current 2 drive raid will 3 raptors be? and also how much slower than a current gen 7200rpm 2x drive raid setup, will mine be? i know a pair of the new 600gig raptors will blow mine away. but i just can't afford that kind of money right now.
