Will two 74 GB Raptors @ 10K RPM go faster than a 150 GB Raptor @ 10K RPM?
Also, Raid0 wouldn't be necessary if I only had one 10K RPM Raptor, right?

No! 1 raptor is faster and more efficiant then 2 smaller raptors.
In all, the large raptor performes better then the small raptor. Plus then later on you can upgrade to dual 150 raptors and make a godly raid setup.

You may get better performance from running two smaller hard drives and keeping your OS on one and everything else on the other. I know in theory the 150 is faster, but the OS might not take advantage of that speed.

that saves me about 130-140 bucks right there!

Two drives at 10K RPM fused together (well not rly) to be faster
v.
One drive at 10K RPM
If they were raided then yes, that would be faster. 1 vs 2 they are the same speed really, but just having 1 150Gb makes more sense than 2 small drives.Hurricane wrote:

Raid 0 won't give home PC users any real performance increase.

Get one 150gb Raptor if it's cheaper.Bottom line: RAID-0 arrays will win you just about any benchmark, but they'll deliver virtually nothing more than that for real world desktop performance. That's just the cold hard truth.
