I know opinions on RAID are mixed, but I'm considering upgrading to one with my Badaxe board.
I need more storage, but would also like to improve performance. What would be the fastest of:
A RAID 0 of two 7200 RPM drives
A 10K RPM SATA drive (thinking about Newegg.com - Western Digital Raptor X WD1500AHFD 150GB 10,000 RPM 16MB Cache Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM )
What changes would you notice in performance from a single 7200 RPM drive with each system? There's a faint possibility of doing RAID with two of those 10K drives, but I'm not sure if that would improve performance.
Again, not asking to compare price or value, but difference in load and boot times.
