I'm currently using Agility 3 60GB
Planning to upgrade, but wonder which solution better

a: Get another Agility 3 60GB and go RAID0
b: Sell my 60GB, and get a Vertex 4 128GB

Which is faster in this case?

Thanks in advance

That's pretty fine. If you are paranoid, get a laptop cooler perhaps.
The RAID0 with another Agility 3 will be faster in this case, much faster in fact.
But if you aren't going to use it for the applications that utilizes that much sequential speed, then I'd suggest you don't bother at all.

More over, you only have 60GB of space... and most applications that needs the speed requires a much larger amount of space.

And finally, no — you aren't going to feel much of a difference in normal usage between RAID0 and the Vertex 4.

So you suggest just to get a vertex 4?

If you need the extra SSD space, then yes... get the Vertex 4. No point RAID0 on a 60GB drive IMO.

Extra speed will be 1st priority hmm.gif

If he decides to get a new Vertex 4, what does he do with his existing 60GB drive?

I think Singapore might be able to fix it, but hopefully it will be durable.
