I currently have the Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe SKTA NVNorce2ST ATX 8xAGP Giga LAN, SATA, Firewire, 6 channel Audio, USB2 Dual chan. DDR motherboard with RAID 0 and 1 controllers.
Currently my OS is installed on a 80 Gig IDE hard drive. would there be any advantage in installing the OS and software files onto the RAID 0? If I were to install on RAID 0, can youjust use a single disc or do youhave to use two? The reason I asked was that I was advised by some one in IT to buy a SATA drive rather than IDE for the software drive s o I currently have a Maxtor Diamondmax 80gb SATA 150 7200rpm 8mb Cache drive doing not a lot.
I am intending to install the majority of my data for the short term on a RAID 1(Mirror) using either Maxtor 200 or 250 drives.
What are your opinions on this?
