Last week I built a new system, much needed update; ASUS P5WD2 Premium, pentium D 830, 1Gb Kingston paired, Cheap($35) ASUS vid card 128M-16 on board, Cooler Master copper heatsink w/pipes, Antec case and 450W supply.
Now for the drive(s), I'm using my old Seagate 160 SCSI through an Adaptec 2940uw controller. I know I need to go SATA so see any real improvement for my hard earned money. 1 160G drive = $65, 2 80G drives = $100. The price differnece is minimal,
my question is; is the speed difference that great when setting up RAID-0, or for my set-up should I not worry about the hassle?
second question; is setting up a RAID that difficult(running XP MCE 2005)?
third question; what are the expected bandwidths with typical RAID setups?
Finally, this is my first day and first post in this forum, so please excuse my etiquette.
Thanks -Joe
Edit; I will be using SATA-2 drives, thanks
