Hey guys.. i am currently running a 250 GB pata and 2 older 80 GBs sata 1.5 GB drives in raid 0 for my storage needs. I was wondering if its worth scrapping the
whole setup for a single sata 2 500 GB drive even if i loose in speed when i move from raid 0.

Also does anyone have an idea of the costs of a 500 GB drive in mumbai?
 
Heh am already running stripped so doing it again is no biggie :D I was actually thinking of checking out raid 5 as my board supports it...
 
^^RAID-5 without a hardware XOR engine is not worth it... it'll be way too slow and cpu intensive. Oh btw... change ur siggie... E6400 is allendale not conroe.

oops my bad... and yea you right about the raid-5 .. the overheads will result in fair bit of loss..
