I&rsquo;ve currently got them setup in a 3x RAID 0 config which presents about 750Gb of space.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve got everything on a single partition (meh, i&rsquo;m lazy). I&rsquo;ve done various speed tests in the current setup (with all space allocated), but i thought i&rsquo;d re-image onto a short stroke partition.</p> <p>I only use about 150Gb of space on my main machine (most of my data is on another box), so i&rsquo;m going to try creating a 200Gb partition to test if this provides any kind of performance boost.</p>
