What would be optimal out of these scenarios:
A)
2 WD-74 Raptors @ RAID-0 (10K rpm)
+
2 Random High-Capacity SATA-II Drives @ RAID-0 (7.2K rpm)
Raptors: Here I use the raptors for OS and installed aps (software + games)... I also store my documents here and keep a backup at the high-capacity raid configuartion
High-Capacity Drives: Here I have my ripped music, movies etc. (which is perfectly legal were I live, I might add) and other dump I just wanna keep for the sake of keeping
Q: Where would I put my pagefile(s) in this scenario?
B)
4 Random High-Capacity SATA-II Drives @ RAID-0 (7.2K rpm, Partition 1 and 2 here)
+
1 Random HDD for minor data backups (IDE maybe... or whatnot, partition 3 here)
Partition 1: What I used my raptors for in A: OS, apps, docs
Partition 2: The Dump
Partition 3: Backup of data (docs at partition 1)
Q: Where to put the pagefile?
Note: Why I want a backup in every scenario is because of the much higher risks with RAID-0 than no RAID-0.
Which one of these scenarios would be optimal for everyday gaming while using the dump for maybe file server or something at the same time (gonna get me a 4400+ for multi-tasking while gaming).
Thanks!
