OS Drives:
In my last build I chose to use two 120GB Corsair Force GT SSDs because they were the best available at the time, according to reviewers. The two SSDs are connected to my Z68 chipset's SATA III ports for optimal throughput. One SSD has OS X 10.8.4 installed, and the other has Windows 7.
Storage Drives:
For storage I chose to use two Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB hard drives because I have been using Seagate drives for many years, and i found these drives to be relatively inexpensive. In the beginning I had them mirrored, but soon realized that 2TB wasn't going to be enough space. So I have been running them in RAID 0 for the past eight months, and I have planned on buying a drobo, or something similar, but haven't yet had the extra funds. The two Seagate drives are connected to the two SATA III ports from my motherboard's Marvell 88SE9172 chip. And, I set the RAID up in OS X, because OS X doesn't see my motherboard's hardware RAID. And, I am able to access the OS X software RAID from Windows 7 using MacDrive 9 Pro.
Picture:
Here is a picture of the backside of my case where the hard drives slide in. The case is an Antec ONE. And, it's pretty dusty because I have been using the computer for about a year now.
