Raptor 36s In RAID 0

[olds]

It's about time to format the drives and do a fresh install.
Since there is no performance increase, should I go back to the RAID or just run them separately?
Not buying any new HDDs.
TIA

Do you have them in RAID now? My answer would be: if you need the extra space, seperate them and see if you notice a speed drop at all. Otherwise, leave them in RAID. If you have them seperate, RAID them and see if you can tell a difference.

IMO, keep them in RAID. I notice a difference when moving large files, copying, etc. Remember, RAID 0 is really the only one that will give you a performance boost if any. I believe RAID 1 is just parity(sp?). Correct me if i'm wrong.

Yeah, that's it. Thanks

Format them and use them indpendently.

Cheers!

format and use independently. RAID 0 offers almost no real world benefits for the average user
