My NEW Desktop PC Set. Any Pros and Cons...?

PRO: It doesn't cost $20,000.
CON: It doesn't cost $20,000.

First thing you should consider if your serious about raid, get a dedicated hardware raid card.. dont rely on the ones that are built-in/software driven.

A belief from years ago when software raid didn't match up to hardware raid. These days, generally software raid when you have decent hardware > hardware raid. Decent being the keyword. Servers are also a different beast altogether.

here's a decent article bout how raid affects performance on games:

http://www.techwarelabs.com/articles.../index_4.shtml

basically what it says is that negligible ra ang effect sa fps sa games, the only good thing about it is faster loading times, especially for those games with big maps.


and yeah you really need to get a good PSU. although a true-rated 500w will do, mas maayo nang makasiguro daan..perteng mahala ra ba anang components nmo hehe

I have HEC 550W with my old rig, Its almost 3 years now and it don't give me a problem at all. It's not that efficient compare to other branded psu, but still its worth.

Make sure you configure your bios right and also, raid has its own menu. Make sure to configure it right also, otherwise you cant make it work. But nothing bad will happen to your rig, just configure it right and it will be fine. My old (2x80Gb sata II) and new (2x500Gb sataII) rig are both in Raid 0, and it doesn't give me a problem. Just make sure to backup your important files, coz if one of your drive fails, there is no chance you can recover your files.
