Hey guys,
I'm looking to try to speed up and expand my main machine with the cheapest options available.
My main rig is running a 1st gen 32Gig WD Raptor as my primary OS drive with Vista x64 Ultimate. I also have a 250 gig storage drive in this machine that I install all of my games and software onto since Vista is such a beast to maintain. The other parts are mainly current (q6600 w/ 4 gigs of ram, 512mb ATI 4670 PCI-E video card [planning on bumping up to a 4870 soon]).
I have a server running Ubuntu server that has a collection of hard drives (including a pair of matching 300 Gig drives) for all of my storage needs.
Would my best bet be to buy a 1TB drive to replace the multiple drives in the server and to take the matching 300 gig drives and run them in a raid 0? I'd then swap out the 20 gig OS drive in my server w/ my raptor.
Bring on the advice.
