Ok, soon my system will have 2 maxtor (pata) and 1 wd raptor (sata...obviously)...sooo I was planning on using the WD Raptor as OS and Progs, and setting up Raid 0 accross the 2 maxtors for basically all other data storage...would this be wise? does anybody have any specific advice?
My primary goal is to get the maximum speed possible, in loading games, opening files etc.. so a recommended blocksize for the 2 considering it will be quite a varied store (files ranging from 70k to 800 meg) would be appreciated.
Also, are there any additional setup notes anyone would mention about the raptor to ensure I get max performance out of it? (its running on a gigabyte mobo with nforce2) such as specific drivers, a certain bios option or something...
thanks for reading this post and even more thanks for any words of wisdom from the guru's
