I would raid 2 small drives for windows/games/swap (preferably hardware raid, easier and performs better than software). But preferably sata, ide is homogay.
10-15gb for windows/apps that use registry. at least 40gb for games. 100+ gb for music. 2+ gb for swap file. at least 150 gb for random downloads/videos. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Doubling your speed (or more depending on setup) doesn't justify its use?

Software raid is more flexible (though you can't stripe the os volume I believe), and uses more cpu I'd imagine. Software raid has compatibility issues.
If you're just using one OS, you'll be fine with software. If you're dual booting stuff like linux, go hardware raid. Most amazing jew boots |
