Hey guys,
This question might seem a little generic but I am after peoples opinions more than anything.
I am aware that upgrading my hard drives will speed up my computer quite a bit. I am also aware that the most speed will be had from SSD's. However, the maximum capacities of SSD's is too small for me and they are pretty expensive.
I was wondering what people thought of these various ideas.
1 - get one high capacity disk drive and one SSD (say 80GB) to boot windows, programs and games from.
2 - get two or three lower capacity drives in RAID (maybe 1 or 5, not really looked into them enough) as I know that there are various speed increases from RAID, and boot the OS from a separate SSD for the speed. Can you even do that?
3 - Get two or three disk drives in RAID (same levels as above) and set a separate partition to boot the OS from.
Any opinions/advice would be appreciated, cheers.
