Rothagonithagie Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Considering no one has really done this yet... ...I thought I would.

Along with 64GB of RAM and RAID 0 SSDs for 1GB/s speeds and 240GB of storage. thanks for putting in the effort for this i think i'll stick with fan-cooling for now due to the lack of WC experience, but it is considerable in the future ~ considering what Shurman292 said, i am still uncertain whether to get the 580 or the 590 but judging from a discussion from http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/Forums/ShowMessage.asp?Forum=4&MessageID=782796 i'd like to see if anyone has further clarification on this. 'GTX 590 Preview - 94x; render 26x GTX 580 Preview - 75x; render 31x GTX 580 Preview - 68x; render 30x' also, should i be getting two 2TB 7200rpm HDD and put them in raid 0 for storage? does having more than two HDD for storage slow things down ? so far, this is will likely end up being the build i'm going for, unless there is a change in income circumstances in the near future, then i will look be looking at a Dual 2011 build.

vandreadstriker Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 also, should i be getting two 2TB 7200rpm HDD and put them in raid 0 for storage? does having more than two HDD for storage slow things down ? Like I've said before, RAID 0 would boost your HDD speed theoretically by two-folds. It wouldn't slow things down, even if you don't RAID 0 them. But it would be Fatal should any of your RAID 0 drives fail. I'm with Shurman on this, I'd rather have a normal speed HDD rather than gambling with HDD failures. It's yours to decide but if it were me, personally, I'd run them parallel or setup RAID 1 instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
