It has a 4200 80gb drive in it right now and I am dying for better performance! So would I be better off buying a larger hard drive that's 7200 rpms or buying another 4200 rpm 80gb drive and running them both as RAID-0? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks! Jeff Posted by: Sora Im pretty sure it would be very close in performance but of coarse buying another 80gb would give 160gb at increased speed and cheaper. I would for sure just buy another and RAID0 it Posted by: turtile The 7200RPM will be better Posted by: Sora But not by too much, he will get a lot more space and spend a lot less. Posted by: Mantis-X I'd take the slight performance hit and go with the extra hard drive capacity.... You probably won't notice that little performance drop.
