RAID 0 for Gateway P-7805u FX

by eliwuzhere - 3/5/09 1:23 PM

Planning on buying a P-7805u FX in the near future. It supports RAID 0. I have two questions:
1. Is buying another hard drive to create RAID 0 worth it?

2. If so, what hard drive would you recommend?

I'm going to write "Don not buy!"

If they won't answer pre-sales questions like yours, how will they treat after you parted with the money?

As to RAID 0 it's a gamer thing. It's certainly less safe than one drive and yes, you need 2 to make a RAID 0 array.

I recommend the drives Gateway puts in the machine. Otherwise there will be finger pointing when it fails.
