Default Velociraptor or two 7200RPM in RAID?
Hey guys, what do you think will be faster: a velociraptor or two 7200RPM drives in RAID?

Thanks!

Would be very close in performance but for the money... the RAID0.

How much you looking to spend? How much storage do you want?

2x Samsung T1 750GB
2x WD SE16 Caviar (Blue) 640GB
2x Seagate 7200.11 500GB

NCIX has the 750GB SamsungF1 for $92 right now. I have benched the 1TB and it's really fast: 90mb/s on the ICH9. I assume the 750 would be in the same league.

Ah, most of those are too big for me, I don't use very much space. I'm looking for 300Gb or less combined storage. What would you guys suggest? +reps

Hmm, What about two 150gig Raptors?

EDIT: What about two Seagate Barracuda's 7200.10 in RAID0

I have 2 of these in RAID0 and they are great. 32mb cache instead of 16.

Do you guys think the Seagate 7200.10's are the best choice for RAID0?
