RAID Vs Stand alone HD's?
This is a discussion about RAID Vs Stand alone HD's? in the Windows Hardware category; Question for y'all. RAID seems to be popping up everywhere in workstation PC's. It seems to be there for the performance gain rather than for data integrity. So, lets say you have 2x IBM ATA100, 7200rpm HD's.
Question for y'all.
RAID seems to be popping up everywhere in workstation PC's.
It seems to be there for the performance gain rather than for data integrity.
So, lets say you have 2x IBM ATA100, 7200rpm HD's.
If you had two systems.
One, a ATA-100 RAID controller for these drives.
Two, an 815E based motherboard and due to a hybrid SCSI/IDE system, you had one IBM disk on each onboard ATA-100 controller and nothing else (1 HD per controller, no CD device's at all)
How would these systems compare on HD performance?
