Ok I was thinking of doing a raid so I’m backing up all the files on the 2 500gig wd drives that I’m currently using... now I want to use all my storage but I rather have speed if it means losine so mb so be it.. Now 2 questions
currently I’m doing vista with page file turned off since I have 8gigs of ram and its dam fast with boot and shutdown and loading things... so my question is...
Will doing a raid make a difference if there is no page file? Or should I just keep my main drive with vista empty and install stuff on other drive like I currently am or will raiding the 2 drives together make it faster?
Now 20 second boot from power off to full load vista is fast enough already... but will a raid make it faster for loading things as well? (so far everything loads quite fast)
