So heres what I have:
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R LGA 1366
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache
CPU: i7-930
I'll be honest... I really don't know much about RAID.... But from what I hear "Raid 0" is a good setup for a boost in speed and performance. I know I would have to buy another identical drive to the one above correct?
Aside from that do I need to purchase any other cables or components? How do I actually set up a RAID configuration. Which drive to I load the OS onto etc?
Or would it be better to just got a cheap and small SSD and then just keep the WD 640gb as storage? I'd prefer to not drop another $200-250 on an SSD if I can get similar performance by just buying another WD 640gb black.
