"Given the speed of the processor and discrete graphics, this system begs for a very fast storage solution. I'd really recommend going with a RAID 0 configuration and a huge tertiary drive for storage. "

I'm a fan of speed and all, but does the author really recommend doubling the chances of a complete system failure just for some increased performance? Personally I'd just get a fast secondary drive and relocate my pagefile to it. Or if I really need blazing I/o I'd build a RAID 0 array as a secondary disk, not my primary.

But hey, reinstalling your entire OS and applications can be fun, I suppose.]]>Nov 22nd 2008 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/dells-core-i7-packin-studio-xps-hits-the-review-bench/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/dells-core-i7-packin-studio-xps-hits-the-review-bench/Nov 22nd 2008 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/dells-core-i7-packin-studio-xps-hits-the-review-bench/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/dells-core-i7-packin-studio-xps-hits-the-review-bench/
