Hi, so I'm torn in between a few choices of hard drives and was looking for some help as to which would give best performance. Money isnt a problem, but I wont go for the 15k drives, because those are just too expensive no matter how you look at it:
1x 300GB Velociraptor 10k rpm: This looks like a very good HDD, but for the high price, I dont know, especially because I've heard raid 0 can be better.
2x 300GB(or 150gb) Velociraptor 10k rpm in raid 0: This is even more expensive, but I'm loving the though of 2 of these in raid 0... would it be double the performance of 1? Because if it really is that awesome, this is the one I go for, but its very expensive...
Dual 74gb Raptors 10k rpm in raid 0: These are 10k rpm, and I can get 2 of them for the price of 1 velociraptor. So, in theory, shouldnt this setup kick everything else's ass? Yet some people told me its a bad idea...
Dual 7.2k rpm Seagates in raid 0: If none of these are worth it, this is also an option, because I hear it's still very fast.
So, which do you guys think would give the best performance?
Thanks
