[H]orde, ASSEMBLE!
So I've decided I'd like to get into this RAID business and am wondering if RAID 0 would really show me any speed benefits, or if I should just stick with RAID 1 for the redundancy.
Besides the normal web-surfing, I create graphics and edit photos on my computer. The graphics and photo files can be over 20 or 30MB each. Would RAID 0 be beneficial to me in this situation, or should I not even bother?
Now, I do have back-ups (an internal 1TB drive and 2 external 500GB drives), so having more redundancy isn't a necessity, but I guess it doesn't hurt.
So, what say you, Hardforum?
EDIT: The RAID setup would be 2 WD Black 750GB 7200 drives on an ASUS P5E-VM
