Seagate Cheetah 15K.6 RAID 0 Scratch disk for Photoshop
« on: April 04, 2009, 12:57:31 pm »

I just picked up a new Mac Pro (with Apple's RAID card) & I think i'm going to run two Seagate Cheetah 15K.6 as a RAID 0 Scratch disk for Photoshop speed.  I think the 156GB drives are all i'll need as far as size goes.  Does anyone have any experience with this configuration?
