simple question simple answer

[devil_warrior]

which is faster

1 146gb 10,000rpm hard drive or

2 74gb 10,000rpm hard drives in RAID 0

I believe larger drives has a lower defined seek time than smaller drives...or at least that is the case when comparing the 74GB to the 36GB drives

That said, a RAID 0 should in theory cut the seek time of the drives in half although of course this usually isn't true...I'd have to go out on a limb and say the RAID 0 would for the most part be faster but I honestly don't know for a fact

 

[devil_warrior]

what about whats faster simply 1 74gb drive or 2 in raid 0?

 

[Osiris]

one 146gb drive should be faster


but if you had one 146gb drive and two 146gb drives, the two 146gb drives should be faster..
