    Just wondering how much faster are the tri and quad raid configurations compared to dual raid? I know bench tests show that the tri and quad raid are significantly faster but how does this translate into real world use? will opening programs be twice as fast or games will load twice as fast? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. :)

    From what I've seen dual seem to be in the 300Mb+/s range tri i around 480mbs+ and quad 500+mb/s

    Those are sequential large read speeds. In reality, very little of what you do on a computer are large sequential reads, unless you copy large files from one drive to another, and then you're limited by the slowest drive.

    By far, the most common operations are random small reads and random small writes, neither of which is affected much by striping.
