New Hard Drive??

[Marc Ross Miller]

Hi.

I have a VelocityMicro ProMagix PC with an Intel Q9650 @ 3.00GHZ. The current Hard drives are 2 250GB Western Digital WD2500KS 7200rpm SATA/300, 16MB. I want to make the PC as fast as possible.

If I replace the existing hard drives with a Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS Hard Drive can anyone say if I'd see a substantial difference in the performance of the PC? Would it be any "faster"?

Whats your budget and are them 2d2500ks in raid0? Single 640 blk is faster (read/write) then single wd2500ks. Best option would to spend money on SSD.

SSD is a Solid State Drive?

Which SSD brand is best? I've looked at Intel's 160 GB and Corsairs 128 and 256 but, wasn't sure which brand is tops?
