I have 2 250gb western digital sata 2 hard drives in raid 0.my question is because i have oc'ed my pentium d 950 to 4.3gz will i get better performance if i split the drives from raid and have 1 for my os and 1 for storage or will it be better if i keep the raid 0?

Keep the RAID

Better performance.

Keep the Raid, but do invest in another HD for storage and important data, cuz if either one of those drives go, you'll lose all.

Obviously, RAID 1 would be the best, but it's expensive.

The RAID is better Performance. You will get a performance loss if you remove it.

 

[Niko-Time]

Yes, stay with raid

You probably mean RAID0+1. RAID1, just like RAID0, requires two hard drives, which act as a mirror of each other. Effectively, you'll have 250GB of storage space, while in RAID0 you have 500GB.

I have four drives in RAID0+1, which is the best of two worlds. Four drives are required, making it indeed expensive. RAID0+1 is a combination of RAID0 and RAID1, and thus offers performance increase and data security.
