Hey all, I'm thinking of starting a new build and I'm pretty confident with the components I've chosen accept this one:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=HD-053-SA
Could anyone shed some light on it, ive heard its overkill and it has issues when re installing os's like xp/vista ???
I'll list the rest of the components once ive finished weighing them up for reassurance from you guys as i tend to over look compatibility.

Make sure you can't get two 500gb drives for the same price. :p

whats the benefits of two 500gb hd's? and I'm thinking of going with a 500gb maxtor now recalculated my needs and 1tb would be overkill for me.

Well, if it's cheaper..also, you have RAID capability, so while the probability of failure is the same, you won't lose all your data if it does.

IMO the Samsung drives are more reliable than Maxtor. Also WD are better than Maxtor ..... in fact DONT get a Maxtor ;)

Last time I looked I think two WD 500GB came out cheaper than a Samsung 1TB F1..

remember, its not really a TB. they say 1 GB is 1000MB. its not. its 1024. so all those MB they lie about really add up. so convert it first to see how much your REALLY getting.
