Ok, here we go....
I have the msi k7n2g-ilsr, which has an onboard SATA raid controller. I am replacing my harddrive and had originally thought about buying 2 matching SATA HDs and running a raid array. I have pretty much abandoned this idea, as it doesn't seem to me that 2 raided SATA drives provide much more overall system proformance in a normal desktop setting than a single HD. So, my question is, will buying a single SATA HD provine any benefit vs. simply buying a non SATA equivalent. I'm talking about any increase in system proformance in a desktop setting. My normal usage includes some video capture, not a lot of editing, some gaming.
In short, is getting an SATA HD worth the premium i will pay for it or should I just get a cheaper, bigger, ATA100 HD.
