The biggest difference that I saw when creating a raid 0 with my two 74 gig drives was a lower amount of time when I was compiling my applications, and when I did some video editing. I also saw a faster load time on bigger apps and games, but nothing that made a jawdropping change.


If you do video editing, it should be worthwhile to change to a raid 0, but just keep a backup of your data.... For example, you can create a ghost schedule so that every other night at midnight, it creates a ghost image of your computer on another, larger drive. I have raid 5, and I still do this... Why you may ask... Why not.
