Hey guys,

Of late I've noticed my Mac Pro Dual 2.0GHZ with 9GB of Ram is running quite slow, both the system and with adobe applications (CS3).

I suspect its due to my current hard drive status, 250gb drive with 80gb free space. So I was thinking of setting up another drive or drives to transfer media onto and leave the boot disc for apps only.

My question is, whats going to give me the best performance, as I want to use the new drive as a scratch disk for photoshop as well? I was thinking something along the lines of a RAID 0 with 2x250gb drives... Does that sound like the best option or should I go bigger?

Thanks in advance..
Brett
