I am planning on buying a second 200GB hard drive and experiment with a RAID array and I was wondering if it is advisable/recommended to buy the same name brand? This is more out of curiosity because I buy nothing but WD drives. From what I read, that is, if I understood it correctly is that by doing the RAID that spreads the info on the two drives increases reads/writes, especially for gaming. Is this true? Acutually I would just like to have the extra real estate, but at least I can scratch doing the RAID thing off my list of experiments! :-) Plus, I have my eye on that Seagate 500GB hard drive! ;-) TIA For what is a man, what has he got?
