I need your advice guys! I need more storage space.
I built a new PC four months ago (mainly used for gaming) and went with dual 640GB WD Caviar Black's. They currently run in RAID 0.
I thought about just buying a 2TB hard drive and just adding it to my current system, but after reading the latest posts I see that RAID 0 isn't the best option. So I question what would be best. I would like to upgrade my system with the following two goals in mind -
I want the system to boot/seek faster.
I desperatly need at least 2GB more hard drive space. (movies, etc.)
What do you guys suggest? Here is my current set-up:
ASUS Rampage II Extreme Mobo
Intel i7 965 Extreme
6 GB Corsair RAM
Dual EVGA GTX285's
(2) Western Digital 640GB Caviar Black's. Running in RAID 0
Western Digital 1TB external HD (It's FULL!)
PSU -Corsair HX1000
Should I upgrade to SSD for the boot drive and get rid of the RAID array, or add more drives to the RAID??
