Hey all,
So, I want to set up my first Raid 0 array to use with FRAPS for recording my pvp awesomeness. Just want to be sure I check all the correct boxes before I make some purchases. I'll be using the gaming rig in my sig.
I have the licensed version of FRAPS and I want to do full-size 1080p recording at 60fps. Currently, recording to an older 250gb drive, I can decent results, but only at lower frame rates and/or half size. I'd be willing to sacrifice some FPS, but I do want full size.
I was going to use my motherboard's (ASrock Extreme 4) built in raid functionality. I was going to keep my SSD on the 6.0 sata port and use 2 of the other 3.0 ports for the raid array. I was going to check the manual on this, but I can't download the file at work.
For drives, I was thinking of using two 1TB Toshibas or 2 1 TB Western Digital Blues. I'd like to keep the cost of the drives to about $120 total, but I can bump that up to $160 if something like a set of 1 TB Western Digital Blacks are needed.
Any thoughts? Good to go? Thanks as always!
