So which would be faster?
Building a new system and I'd like buy a Intel X25-M G2 80GB drive for almost $300 with a top speed of 200MB per sec. OR I could get two Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb drives and run them in RAID Striping. This would cost me about $150. I will be setting the RAID up on my new X58 based motherboard with Intel ICH10R controller.
Which setup would be faster do you think? For half the price of SSD I will get 13x the storage. If possible I'd rather have MEGA storage and decent speed over Mega speed and high cost. I do not do ANY GAMING!! I use photoshop mostly, so read speed is the most important.
