this is mostly directed at jackal ... yo, i added that drive i got as a 2nd one and am in the process of building the raid-0 array.

i installed the intel matrix utility and it's migrating me to a raid 0 while booted from the original single disk, lmao. should be interesting to see if it works.

it works, dude, that's so awesome.
it gave me a 2nd hard drive's worth of unallocated space which i merged into the primary partition with partition magic...phat.

O.O dude.....that is so fucking awsome. although i need to ask. WTF are you going to use all that space for? isn't it unstable for storage of important stuff? or did they fix that w/the new raptor series?

[rip|buzinator]

Don't have raptors, just a pair seagate 160gb's I liberated from "dead" G5 macs.

RAID-0 provides speed, whatever type of drives you use ... although it really should just be called AID-0 cuz there's no Redundancy about it. But it's as stable as any single disk setup. For failure protection go with RAID-1 or 5.

I have my important stuff backed up to another PC and an external hard disk.
