    Default HARD drive with raid0 or just 2 hard drives

    what would be better for playing 4 account on 1 machine

    will raid0 give me faster transfer rates or just 2 hard drive with separate account on each hard drive give the performance

    Go for a single SSD instead, reserved for your WoW static data.

    I play all my accounts from the same install, so RAID-0 would be a winner there. As it turns out I have hardware RAID-0 on my machine via a 3ware RAID controller, but I actually don't run wow off it.

    Wouldn't raid-1 (redundancy, faster reads) be better than raid-0 (striping, faster writes)?
