Computer hard drive raid array setup ?

Monday, July 27th, 2009 | Computer Research

Getting opinions from people who have this. I build my own computers and upgrade about once a year. I am thinking about my next upgrade and making a raid array with two SATA HD. This should produce the best write/read times but give me your thoughts and experience with your raid array ? What type of raid array do you use and why do you think a certain raid array is best type to use for a home/ gamming pc ?

JBOD
easy and you can still great speeds, i have one samsung Spinpoint F1 1T for all my music and vids and i have a Corsair Extreme Series128GB for my games and a Western Digital VelociRaptor 150GB for my OS’s, i have windows vista and windows 7

great load times and if i need more space i just pop a new drive in and start filling it no need to reinstall a OS or combine the drives as i have had HUGE issuse with that, if one of your drives dies you may lose more data then you think. and as this is only and upgrade i think JBOD is best
