Hey,

Im running 2 Raid 0 arrays, one of 2 Seagate 16 mb 750 gb 7200.10 drives and one of 2 seagate 32mb 1tb 7200.11 drives.
Which one should i install the os on? It'll be vista x64.

I was also wondering how i should organize my files.
Is there any good policies for what i should put on the os drive and what i shouldnt?
Is having 2 raid 0s even a good idea?

Its in an antec 900 case, but should i get extra cooling?

All answers are much appreciated.

P.S I only spent around 400 bucks for all 4 of the drives.

I would put the OS, games, and programs on the 1tb drives in Raid 0. Set the 2 750gb drives to Raid 1 and use them as storage and backup everything to them.

Since you have 2 fans as intake on the front, they should be blowing air over the drives. I wouldn't put in any extra cooling.

/agreed w/ br3nd064

Having a raid 1 for your media files would serve you better in the long run. What raid controller are you using?

Im using the onboard controller on a DFI LANPARTY DK 790FX-M2RS. I have a Geforce 9800 gtx, so there isnt much room.
