I have three harddrives right now. My primary drive is 7200RPM Maxtor 40 GIG, my secondary is 7200RPM Maxtor 80 gig, and my third is Western Digital 250GIG 7200 RPM.
Now, I was wondering.. if I was to setup them up as a raid configuration-- would this effect performance on my computer (my specs are in my signature)? I know RAID improves performance, but my main question is would I have to format my harddrives? That's a lot of data I have, between websites and programs I've made.. I can't really lose it all.. ;x
Also, a little off topic. I'm getting a laptop soon, and I was going to upgrade the XP TO XP x64. Is it worth it? Will I get more performance?
Thanks
