To RAID or not to RAID? by
[email protected]
Yes it sounds like a newbie question, anyway...
Which is beter for performance, a single hard drive of say, 160 GB or

$20 cheaper than two 80G drives. Assuming a...

8 megapixel RAW images. But most of the time I'm not a power user,
doing writing, webmastering, etc.
So what I'd like is a silent, energy efficient...

Copper heatsink by
QED, eh ?
I tried copper heatsinks - which all performed worse than similar sized
