The topic is hard drives. I'm looking to go big with the rig but I'm also looking for quality, some quiet and performance. My question being:
Shall i go with a Velociraptor, 2x74Gb Raptors in Raid 0 or 2x250gb Hdd's in Raid 0? I know the obvious answer is gonna be the Velociraptor and second being the regular raptors. The thing I'm stumped on is bang for the buck and the noise I'm dealing with.
I'm told the Velociraptor sounds like a helicopter, true? And I'm sure the raptors aren't far off.
The reason i say 2x250Gb Hdd's is because i can get em nice and cheap. My question on that matter is how much of a difference are we looking at for 2x10k drives appose to 2x7200 drives? Am i gonna see a big performance difference?
All opinions appreciated,

Don't consider a Velociraptor, they are loud and they are not worth it period, yes its noticeably faster, however if the Western Digital 640gb has more space and is almost as fast
