I have a Dell Precision T3500 workstation. currently on that system, there are 2 7200 rpm HDDs connected via a RAID controller. I do not know much about the RAId systems; however, when I check in Win7's disk management, both disks show up separately..
What I wish to do is to replace these HDDs with a single 600GB 15K HDD.. considering that PC will be a network share with some data read/write traffic, which is the best idea to implement:
1. A single 15K HDD bypassing RAID (direct connection to the board.)
2. A single 15K HDD with RAID (I don't know if that is possible!!) RAID 0 or 1
3. Two modules of 15K HDDs (300 GB each) via RAID 01 or 1
4. Keep the current RAID system with 2 HDDs and add the 15K HDD directly without RAID (if possible..)
Performance wise (most traffic will be on the reading side and less on the write side) which would be the best option to go?? As I am new to these things (already stated), can you also alternatively suggest implementation methods if above are not good at all..
Thanks in advance.
