Looking at a Dell T3500 Precision Workstations with the following:

Intel W3680 - Single Processor

6-12GB RAM ECC

nVidia Quadro 4000 with 2GB RAM

On-board network adadpter (assume Broadcom)

Windows 7 Pro - x64

Questions:

• Significance of dual hard drives versus single HD using Solidworks?
• RAID or NO RAID? (given good backup strategy)
• What are the reasons for either opinion?

Thanks in advance....
