Hi,
I had been planning on gettting dual SATA drives in a RAID 0 configuration for my new system, until I started reading all the various posts saying that there was a very negligable gain to be had. It's sometimes hard to discern though what people are talking about in regards to the performance, whether they're speaking to the realistic technical person who knows where gains can and cannot be had in disk performance, or the overzealous newbie who expects it to improve their FPS framerate.
I really had one expectation for RAID 0 and I still have yet to hear it dashed directly: how much, in terms of a %, can RAID 0 help improve the load times of FPS games, both at startup and the change of maps?
Thanks,
