My desktop currently runs one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148140
I'm pretty much out of space and I'm trying figure out the best way to expand. The factors to consider are cost, capacity, speed, noise, and heat. Should I get another identical drive and set up RAID, or will that create too much noise and heat? Should I get rid of my current drive and get a new drive, or will that not be much faster? Velociraptors are reputed to be very fast, but $200 for 300GB is pretty expensive and 1TB would require 4 drives which I think would create a lot of noise and heat. Just looking for advice from experienced storage folk. - Grant
