Re: New Hard Drive Recommendations?
What do you want to do with the drive?
You only need a 10k drive if you play games and want maps to load at lightning speed.
Raid 1 is good for ensuring you don't loose data (but you need 2 HDDs) Raid 0 is good for Video Editing and things, but increases the mean time to failiure as if either drive fails you lose the content of both.

If you just want more storage space then a new Maxtor with as many Gb as you need and an 8Mb cache and 7200 RPM will do you right.
