OK, the new computer arrived (off-the-shelf, not ordered to spec).
It comes with one 640 GB drive, Vista 64 and a RAID controller.
I was thinking of going RAID 0 (since I do regular backups). Question is:
If, before installing any extra software, I install two 320-500GB drives to be the primary OS drive(s) what does it take to re-install the OS in a RAID config - assuming I'm going to reformat the 640 to use as a data drive.
Also, does the array show up as just "drive c:"? and does it backup as one drive or two?
-no, I can't afford solid state drives
Anyone have data on the performance 'increase' of RAID 0?
