Question about Raid 0

Question

Hi: I am trying to put together an order for a Dimension9100. Concerning the hard drive would the 320GB Performance RAID 0 (2 x 160GB SATA HDDs) be any more noisy or quieter than the 250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache? I am looking for options here and would appreciate any opinions as to noise and reliablity. I don't need more than the 250GB drive, but if the other is quieter and more reliable... Thank you for the help, Ed:smileyhappy: Message Edited by images on 09-30-2005 06:35 PM

Two drives = more noise. RAID 0 is striping without redundancy, so if either drive fails, you lose everything - in other words, your chances of data loss double vs. a single or two separate drive configuration.
