RAID Help?

[ScrapPaperPlanes]

I'm gonna sound like such a computer n00b right now, anyways....

Basically i heard from a mate that if you connected your Hardrive to RAID, your PC will run games ALOT quicker, On my motherboard i have a section for RAID where there are multiple inputs. I only have one Hardrive , & it is SATA , would it be possible to increase the capability of running games by connecting this one HD to RAID (or would i need 2?) And how would i go about doing this?

RAID is generally 2 or more hdd's. This is for redundancy in data collection and to speed up write times. So yes games could be a bit smoother but is it worthwhile just for games? Not for the casual player.

RAID - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Best thing to do is, run:
CCleaner (warez-bb.org :3).
IObit smart defrag (warez-bb.org :3 )

and then if you are still having slow load times because of the HDD.. consider buying a new HDD- 7200 RPM or faster but no more than 10k RPM.
The absolute best for gaming is SSD (Solid State Drive). but they are very expensive per GB of storage.
