let's assume i have a game that is highly page intensive. (as opposed to sequential read/write intensive)
i want to upgrade my OS/swap harddrive choice.
Do i pay $340 to get 2 150gig raptors? (newegg)
or 200 to get a SAS raid controller (newegg), and 50-75 per drive to get some used 15k rpm, 74 gig drives from fs/ft?
I'm thinking the second option, but i'm looking for confirmation.
regardless of what i choose for OS/swap, i'm gonna be getting a single 500 gig as my programs/data drive.
this is the controller i have in mind.
