Should i get Velociraptor or Momentus XT ? ( Other than SSDs)
Answer #1
By mentioning the Velociraptor you must be talking about a desktop ?
What mobo do you have, ie. can you use SATA 3.0 (600 Mbits/s) HDD’s ?
You can improve performance if you use two identical drives (easiest method) in RAID 0 for your operating system.
Is price putting you off SSD’s, as they are dropping in price all the time, a decent 240 GB is only about �110 in the UK retail.
Theose hybrid drives are fairly good in RAID 0, slightly slower boot times than SSD’s though, but excellent for laptops especially when using the 750GB ones.
Answer #2
Yeah im talking about Desktop
Im using an old motherboard that supports SATA 2.0 Only , SATA 3.0 is backward compatible from SATA 2.0 isnt it ? ( just need to set jumper on HDD if im not wrong )
How Raid 0 improve performance when using two identical drives , how raid 0 actually works
240 GB SSD �110 ? may i know what brand/model of ssd is that ?

Answer #5
@ Thanks for Info About RAID 0
@ thanks i will take a look about that ssd
Can i RAID 0 with 2 Different Brand/Size HDDs?
Answer #6

Can i RAID 0 with 2 Different Brand/Size HDDs?
OK, firstly, you don’t need to change anything on the HDD (ie. jumpers) when using a SATA 3 HDD on a SATA 2 board, just plug and go, you are right HDD’s are backwards compatible.
You can use different size / brands of HDD’s in RAID 0, however the size of the smallest HDD will specify how much space you will get, eg. a 500GB and a 250GB will give you 500GB, a 1TB and a 500GB will give you 1TB.
However, a 500GB and 500GB will give you 1TB.
If you go the RAID 0 route, it is preferable to use identical drives as there is no redundancy, you have to ensure you back your data up regularly to a seperate drive. It is unwise to partition on RAID 0.
