Ok a friend of mine is intrested in making a system with a raid 0 setup. So I was wondering what the best option for him would be. Here is what he asked me.

"Should I buy a WD Raptor 150GB ($275) or buy two WD Raptor 74GBs ($310) and RAID 0 them? That'd be great. I just need to know if a RAID 0 system could back up to a single external HD. I would assume it could as the computer recognizes it as a single logical drive."

Any help is appreciated.
:)
 
He would be better off with the raptor 150 unless he's doing alot of audio/video editing.
 
Raptor 150. Don't bother with the RAID. It will make some things faster but it will also make some things slower and it's not necessary for most people, even most people here.
 
Yeah stick with a single drive unless he really needs that extra performance, if one of the drives in the array fails then they both get damaged.
