I need a matched pair of SATA hard drives to make a small RAID set in my gaming PC.
The motherboard has a wonderful pair of built in SATA connectors but they will ONLY work in a RAID configuration! I have simply been running the machine using a PATA hard drive up to this point but would like to try using a RAID 0 set for the boot drive and for running some of the games to see if I can't get a little better performance.
The top priority is that the drives cost me as little as possible since I really don't need to do this.
I don't care what brand they are or what size, 60/80/120/160GB whatever, as long as they are identical!
I mean I want two matching drives of the same brand and model number.
I don't need cables or anything else and I don't care if they are new or used as long as both drives are functional, no SMART errors etc...
If you know of an absolutely KILLER deal someplace or would like to help me out by clearing off some shelf space please drop me a PM...
