Lustalbert Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Just got 2 300 GB hard drives and a firewire raid 0 case so I can make a portable drive to archive all my music in one place for easy acsess. been formatting for 2 hours now.

Casper Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 You're not formatting, at least I hope not. You're probably building the RAID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 2 300gb drives in raid 0 = waste for just music. 2 drives in raid 0 for windows and applications = the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted February 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Went raid 0 just for the sake of having it on one logical drive in a portable enclosure. $300 total for a 600 GB drive seems better than paying 300 for a 500 GB HDD + an enclosure. The drives are 5400 rpm (keep the heat down a little) plus being decent sized media files on an external drive, seek time isnt gona be a big issue like a databases would be. FYI, I have about 400 GB of music (so far, always getting new stuff from friends in bands, demmos, ect), so having 600 GB of HDD to put it on isnt overkill.
