HI,
First the facts:
One Maxtor 60 gig 7200 rpm disk
One W.D. 60 gig 7200 rpm
One Seagate 200 gig 7200 w/8M cache.
1 gig pc2100
XP2100 T-bred
Soyo kt333 dragon ultra platinum mobo w/HPT372 udma/ata 133 raid controler
Win Xp Pro sp2
A friend just gave me the Seagate as he knew I will be doing alot of video and sound editing and I needed some more room.
It is time to reinstall my os, and I would like to try a raid-0 array.
My plan:
Primary IDE master = 200g Seagate partitioned as such
10g - Os
10g - Programs
20g - Games
40g -Visual (movies, pics...)
40g -Audio (mp3's , Wav's)
20g - data (doc's, saved mail, ect.)
10g -Temp (Temp. Tmp. downloads winrar extractions....)
50g - Storage (final resting place for the vid/audio files I create/edit. backup files)
HPT372 Raid-0
maxtor 60g on channel one, W.D 60g on channel two with the array partitioned like so:
2g- swap file
59g - Video editing
59g- Audio editing
Or should I:
2g -swap file
118g - editing
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
