What's faster - single 10,000rpm Raptor or 2 7200rpm Caviars in Raid 0

@davidhammock200 and smoken joe : thanks for your information and attention, this forum opened my mind

I can't hear my 74 gig Raptors. These are the first HDDs I've ever owned that I cannot hear.

Turn down the Tornado's!

I can hear mine! The only HDD's that I can't hear are the Seagates & Hatichi's.

OK, these are the only drives I've had mounted in a rubber-grommeted, floating mount! ;-}

When I do something major, like adding new software to the Raptors, I ALWAYS do an HDD clone to a data drive (assuming everything is running right), then disconnect it so I'm not tempted to dink with it. This has saved my butt more than once, when things go to hell in a handbasket... ;-}

 

Juggling six drives on my system at times (two USB removables), I've done...well...some stupid stuff.

 

Now with all/most of your data on the RAID 0 array, you need to do frequent back-ups,

because if you lose one HDD, you lose ALL of your data.
