| N-Hoe-yd  | SATA/Serial ATA is 150MBPS dat transfer compared to ATA133 that is 133MBPS. Now days both types of drives are around the same price. Raid 0 gives you extra performance and Raid 1 is used for data parity because it copys all your files twice so if one drive dies you still have all your data on another drive. Raid 1 is slower performing though. In order to se any raid configuration you need at least two drives. If you are looking for the best performnace go with two SATA drives in Raid 0. Hope this helps some... | |
