Ok, I know this has probably been asked a million times already but I couldn't find it anywhere so here it goes.
I have a G4 800 with a 40GB and a 80GB HD plugged in the same IDE controller ( the one that came with my mac. )
I was wondering if I could split the 80GB disk in to two 40 GB partition, and make a 80 GB RAID 0 disk with the other one. Something like this:
Disk one: 1st 40GB partition + 40 GB disk =80GB RAID-O
Disk two: 2nd 40GB partion
Can it be done? And probably the most important question, is it worth it ? I know software raid ( disk utility 10.2) isn't the best solution, but I can't afford any other right now. Do any of you know any graphics comparing I/O read/write performance differences?
Thanks
