I beg to differ, having two 640 is better IMO.

1. Possibility to RAID them
2. One fails, you only lose half your data (or all if RAID0 or none if RAID1)
3. Better for dual booting

How is it better for dual booting??
RAID is shit tbh, I had raid 0 on two 80gb drives, one failed, the other failed, 2 bricks sitting on my desk now...

elite, RAID 0 is shit. Should have put it in a RAID 1 array then you never would have lost all your data ... really your fault, tbh.

It's better for dual booting because sometimes when you install two OSs on the same disk, you run across errors in the file system. So you could have, say, Windows on one disk and then OSX or a Linux distro on the other. Then no problems with file system clashes.

Not my fault I bought my pc from ABSPC.com

that and raid 0 is proven to be faster..
raid 1 is a waste of money, just back shit up on cd's...

You just keep digging yourself a deeper hole...

CDs and DVD's are practically redundant nowadays when hard drives, which can hold many times the amount of information, are just as good for backing up important data.

If you had several hundred GB of stuff to back up, I doubt you'd be using disks

On topic: Jihad, have you come up with a final decision yet?

I was making a point - just back your stuff up onto another form of media, such as cd's... External drives, other computers etc. If you have raid 1, and your computer magically gets doused in rubbing alcohol, you are still fucked... =/

Also, my other post was actually genuine advice. The manufacturer of Item # N82E16824236052 isn't known for making great products in the range of that item.

Freezer the item names are right above the store-reference...

Everything except the PSU came in an hour ago.

I'm suprised it only took a day for it to get here considering I put down 3 day shipping.
