Hello all:

I am about ready to get to settin up my system but wanted to ask you guys your recommendations for partitioning my hard drives. I have two 74GB Raptors and one 400GB Seagate. I have heard a lot of pros and cons for RAID-0 and due to the fact that many seem to say that Windows just seems smoother, I will go ahead and try that. However, many questions remain. I just read through a good article about partitioning here but they only went over one drive partitioning and made comments to larger drives. So, given a RAID-0 config as such should I still be partitioning a section for my OS, then another for a page file and yet another for games/apps/etc? Should I partition the Seagate into smaller sections for things like MP3s and Photos and such?

I really want to do this the best way to eek out the most performance and any help and advice is appreciated.

Thanks.
 
for max performance, i would not use partitions, they only serve to slow the disk down, by keeping track of 2 different entities.

raid 0 is perfectly ok, as long as you dont keep any important stuff on it, your setup is a great one for raid 0 on the windows disk
