| 821448 | 2009-10-18 23:42:00 | Well, getting 2 x SSD drives is not worthwhile for just a 'slight' speed increase. lol, BK T, he is jesting with you.....I personally wouldnt bother raid 0 of SSD as 1 SSD would be faster than ANY RAID array you built for your home PC...If your mate want fast, use a SSD for the system drive (windows and programs), and a big SATA for data.... |

Just about impossible to quantify the speed gain without knowing exactly what the PC will be used for, but certainly noticeable on boot up, and anything that does a lot of read/writes (like Windows! :p) And abstracting your O/S from all your data makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons: - HDD space is cheap as chips - Your files (which probably aren't backed up!) are safe if your O/S cracks the sh**s with a virus - Your O/S runs better with less on the drive to gunge it up |
