RAID or not to RAID
Planning to reformat my PC due to some issues and install Win 7 64bit.
What would be best - RAID0 using 2 x SATAII HDD or one larger HDD. (price is not an issue as 250 - 500 GB HDD are not expensive. I am after performance but not at the expense of stability and reliability. Only game I have is Flight Sim X which has some fairly demanding add ons. My current system's "Windows Experience" index shows my HDD as the slowest part - a score of 5.8, while the rest of my system is up at 6.9 for memory and CPU and 7.2 for graphics.
Apart for the inherent issue of HDD failure increasing due to 2 units and not one, any other pitfalls? What setup do other use here?
