Hard Drive Arrangement

Opinions on...

30-80GB SSD for the os/settings

600gb Velociraptor raid 0 array for games

1-2TB drive for media.

Sounds like you have it worked out?

I would make it a 2 drive RAID 1 for media though, gives some peace of mind for music/pics

^ Yeah I wouldn't worry about doing RAID0 Vraps for games unless the extra $280 is worth cutting down on load times a bit. I'd rather do RAID1 for the media (or a single media drive that is backed up nightly/weekly to another drive).

Heck, do both if you have the cash to throw into it. I just don't see much point in doing RAID0 on nearly $300 drives just so games will load a little faster.
