Which harddrive/harddrives setup do I do? I use my computer mostly for gaming, web surfing, torrenting (mostly large files), DVD copying. BTW, most of my gaming is either FPS or racing simulations.
1 - WD4000KD WD 400GB SE16
2 - T7K250 Hitachi 250GB Sata 2 drives in RAID 0
2 - WD2500KS WD 250GB SE16 drives in RAID 0
2 - WD2500YD WD 250GB Raid Edition 16mb drives in RAID 0
So which setup would you go with? Please choose an option and if you want to say why you chose it, let me know. The prices of these options pretty much equal each other so that is not a factor!
I guess from what I hear the WD4000KD is the non-enterprise twin of the 400GB Raid Edition drive. Just tested less before the factory. If I knew RAID would benefit me over a single drive, then I wouldn't even consider going with just one drive. But since the price is about even for the 4 setups, I threw in the Hitachi's since they are very fast for single user desktops and applications it seems (according to StorageReview) and have the same warranty period as the desktop version of the WD's.
