I think what I may do is get rid of the raid all together. The drives I'm currently using for the raid are 5+years old and the raid would be for storage anyway. For the price I see hd at I will just pick up a new one to use as storage. I would like the extra 40Gb that the F2 offers, but I could probably get away with 80gb, is the Intel one really that much superior? If it's only slightly and my programs will open .2 secs faster than the F2, I'd rather have the extra room.
So I'm thinking
Boot Drive:
This
NCIX.com - Buy Intel X25-M 80GB 34NM Postville 2.5IN SSD SATA Solid State Disk Flash Drive - SSDSA2MH080G2C1 In Canada.
Or
NCIX.com - Buy G.SKILL Falcon II 128GB Indilinx Eco 2.5IN SATA2 Solid State Disk Flash Drive SSD W/ 64MB Buffer - FM-25S2I-128GBF2 In Canada.
With this as a storage drive:
NCIX.com - Buy Western Digital WD1001FALS Caviar Black 1TB SATA2 7200RPM 4.2MS 32MB 3.5IN Dual Proc Hard Drive OEM - WD1001FALS In Canada.
With that in mind, is 40gb worth the extra $64? Is the Intel drive that superior? My other thought is that when the drives come down more in price I would like to raid the SSD. So with that should I go for the Intel as later on the 80gb would turn into 160gb?
Thanks, for all your help!
