Whats better....?

....Buying one large SATA hard drive (ie 200Gb) or buying 2 smaller SATA hard drives at half the capacity (ie 120 Gb each) for about 60% of the price of the larger drive and raiding them together?

well raid 1 you only get the size of one drive.... RAID 0 you get 2x the likelyhood of having a drive fail and all your data being gone..

dont even mess with RAID unless you go RAID5 with 3 or more drives..

JMO

get the one drive and backup need files on an external or and Ipod or a CD/DVDs

you could go for 2 drives and RAID 0, but only if you have another storage drive that would store all important data...

You could get the two drives and JBOD them. You get the full space with none of the risks of RAID 0
