KoolDrew Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Raid-0 spread across 4 HDD will be faster than a 10k or 15k hdd and more space too. In sequential read/writes, yes. Unfortunately, seek time suffers in a RAID-0 array. Due to the fact that seek time is of much more importance when reading small files, the OS and most games would perform better on a single faster than a RAID-0 array. Where RAID-0 really shines is when dealing with very large files, where raw sequential speed is important. Most desktop users will not benefit and would be better off with a much faster single drive.
