Single 3Gb/s HD vs Raid 0 1.5 GB/s drives.
by mavalos88 - 6/23/08 3:40 PMHello guys,
I have a question. I'm currently buying a new PC and I would like to know which of the two options gives me more performance.
A single 750GB 7200 rpm speed, SATA 3Gb/s hard drive or two
320GB 7200 rpm speed, SATA hard drives in RAID 0.
There is no specification for the 320GB drive, so I'm assuming its 1.5GB/s.
Which of the two options will give me a better performance? Or will there be barely any difference?
Thanks!

Only a test can tell. Here's why.

That SATA speed is just for the interface and not indicative of any drive speed. In fact a 3.0G drive benchmarked not much faster when we jumpered it down to 1.5 or connected it to a 1.5G interface.
Test then decide.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. Guess I'll have to test it then.
