Guys

This thread has gone completely off topic. Discussion about memory, disks etc, really has nothing to do with the topic.

If the author of the thread is fine with that, why should there be a problem? It's been very beneficial for me as I'm about to buy a computer.

Disk is by far slower as memory. With a Sata 3 you can achieve 600 MB/s throughput, so easily use 4 cheap 500GB HDD (use single platter drives, they are more robust) each with their own cache. With 4 x500 GB (=2 TB) you would achieve throughput of say 400 MB/s on raid 0, while you would achieve 130 Mb/s on 2 TB disk. To put a simply an Antivirus of say 180 MB would load in 1.5 - 2 secs on the 2 TB disk and on the 4x500Gb raid 0 probably under half a second.

i think you are forgetting a very important detail (seek time)

an antivirus does not read data sequentially so an antivirus running on a raid 0 with 4 standard platter hard drives will perform worse than on a single SSD

tested on work machines
