    IMHO, if you were just going to put them in a RAID 0, I would go for the lone larger Raptor, unless the smaller ones decide to drop in price.

    When I built my computer, the 76 raptor wasn't yet available, otherwise that's probably what I would have done.

    Nowadays, the benefit of having the 2 smaller ones would be in mirroring your data by setting up a RAID other than RAID 0.

      Mirroring isn't what I am after I agree. Why do you think the bigger Raptor is the best choice?

          The small drives don't cut it for me. After a few months I'm already pushing 100GB...

            Hmm, can the 76GB Raptor and 2*36GB owners post their scores please.

              It's a better choice only if it truly does give slightly better performance than the 2 RAIDed 36's. Plus as you said, it will free up some space in your case.

              One other possible benefit of the two 36's is that if one goes out you'll have a good backup (albeit smaller), whereas if the the lone 76 goes out you'll have to shell out some more money to get another HDD.

                  I would but I only have a 56k modem, and it would take hours to download

                  Plus I don't want to shell out the cash for the necessary features...

                      How did I get a 486MHz Radeon 9800 Pro, you might ask?

                      The answer is, quite simply, awesome custom cooling.

                      Yes, that is two heatsinks each as large as the card with a plasma heatpipe connecting the two and a large fan mounted on top. The kicker? The thing's 20dB.

                        Yeah, but from what I'm reading now that doesn't look likely. What do you think Asher?

                          I have a personal thing against WD since one of their Caviar drives crapper out on me, and they tend to be noisy.

                          Another way to look at 2 36 vs 1 76 is that if one of the drives in a RAID0 die, your data is lost anyway.

                          So technically having a RAID doubles the chances of failure.

                            Yeah I'm trying to pull up some numbers now to compare. Basically it looks like two standard SATA drives in a RAID0 array are only slightly behind a solitary 74GB Raptor. 2 36GB Raptors in a RAID0 array are faster than the solitary 74GB by some margin.

                              Hehe it's suprising how fast these drives fill up... My 120GB from 6 months ago has very little space left by now. Ahhhh, the joys of BitTorrent (for perfectly legal open-source programs and iso's, of course).

                              Now watch this drive!

                                Asher, I just couldn't do it Armed with only my stock cooling, this was the best that I was willing/able to get.
                                (I have a massive fear of frying my components)

                                44,209

                                It would appear that your graphics card is the primary benefit, since I got a CPU score of 10203, but a graphics score of only 5643
