When running RAID 0, what type of computer should you set the Hardware Manager to?

One of the tweaks that we all know (most of us, I assume) to speed things up in a regular PC is to set your computer's "typcial use" as a "Network Server".

Well, after reading AT's awesome RAID article, and looking at the benchmark graphs it occurred to me that the result differed widely, depending on the computer's role: file server, database or workstation.

Ergo, my question. When running a RAID O array, what do you set your computer as? Darn, I've posted more today than in the past month combined...I need to give this poor keyboard a break!

Uh oh. It appears that I've stumped the Masters. If you guys don't know, than I'm up the creek, sans paddle.

Try each one and see how they work for you and come back and tell us about it.

Allright. Great advice. Thanks. I will. 🙂 NE1 else?
