Which do you guys think will get me better performance?
Four Seagate 120GB SATA HDDs and a controller card with all 4 in a raid 0 array for approx. 400$
or...
Two Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000RPM SATA HDDs and a controller card with both in a raid 0 array for approx. 380$
I know that the WD Raptors are excellent drives, but do they have enough bandwidth to equal or be greater than 4x seagate hard drives? And yes, I need the fast storage space because i am impatient
either way my backups for important files will go to
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 300GB 7200RPM 16M HDD for 173$
this system will be a back up server, major video editing, gaming, and file transfer rig.
