RAID is something that I have never had an incline to delve into and probably never will
As for chasing numbers - I think not. - As said in my thread above, It is in the interests of video editing and production, autocad useage, 3d rendering and futureproofing. The machine is also a print-server for other computers in the network aswell so less strain on the CPU/Memory the better IMHO.
Thankyou for explaining the RAID funtionality in simple terms, but as I have already said in this reply, its something that I will never delve into.
Raid would be of benefit to you if you do video editing, If its 1080p videos then I would def recommend a raid 0 setup. This will allow you to load and save large files quicker. This requires two hard drives of the same make(ideally) and size.
