Is a SATA Raid setup a major plus for a normal home gaming PC? Thinkin about buying another WD 120GB SATA drive from Best Buy or a local computer show (if it comes around soon). What advantages would say Raid 0 (which i believe is Striped, isn't it?) over having just one drive? I know it could easily make the PC boot faster and access data faster.... but does it increase games in any aspect, like loading maps for first person shooters or any other game, or actually run the game faster? someone gimme some pointers as to what to do.
[edit] never actually WORKED with a Raid system, which is why i'm asking. also, is it a real pain to get working once it's set up? Is installing Windows kinda harder due to the fact that it'll be set up on a Raid config, or is it just another step to do? [/edit]
