Anyone compared their throughput and write speed in your own PC?

I tried a couple of raid cards this past 3 years for my home PC machines.

Not worth messing around with. Also takes a lot longer to boot.

And I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Also takes a lot longer to boot with a RAID card.

Use single hard drives (or at most two, up to 500GB (SATA), but as
separate drives, not RAID), coz they're easy to "back-up" (i.e. clone),
to a 500GB IDE that you temporarily plug in for the clone back-up.

Also, "back-up" is a tricky term. With cloning you are *always*
backing-up.

The only question is if it's from the internal to the temp
external drive, or from the temp external to the internal.
