Correct me if I'm wrong but I assume I can't use a Raptor 74GB 16MB cache drive with my raptor 74GB 8MB cache in a raid setup? If not, anyone know where I might find a new 74GB raptor that only has 8mb cache?
Correct, so the array would simple ignore the extra 8MB of cache?Originally posted by: Blain
RAID 0 I assume?

Sure you can use them both. The array will function at the slower of the two.
But both are almost exactly the same.
RAID 0 I assume?

I am just about to RAID a couple of 74's that were on sale at BB "cheap" and have been reading about different RAID levels. A few well entrenched forum peeps have said that RAID 1 would be the fastest RAID for the OS and apps to be on.(Unless you do a lot of video file manipulation or such). Especially reads after random seeks.
Of course you lose half of your size but..... Anyone here have experience or knowledge to say RAID 0 or RAID 1 would be the best setup for desktop OS/games/apps?

Much in RAID is implementation-specific and environment / application specific. Often generalizations are easily shot down with specific examples and exceptions. You can't say much conclusively about RAID 1 read performance in general, because the implementations vary quite a lot. The only approach that begins to be reliable is to measure such things in your own environment with your own real applications, not synthetic benchmarks, and build up a knowledge base and history of what works for you. These are of course readily generalized to what everyone on the whole planet should do, although indefensible.
