3 Hard drive question.

[TJohn]

Can I have 2 hard drives set up in RAID 0 and another drive separate? For instance, I want 2 wd raptors running in raid config and another larger drive running separately for storage.

You should be able to do that with no problems (depending on your mobo support). I am getting ready to do the same thing on my PC, not to gain speed but to gain some storage.

Yes, you can do that...but are you sure you want to run RAID0? Performance difference between non-RAID0 and RAID0 is pretty small.

Really? I was under the impression that using raid was going to speed things up. So if I go with just setting up 1 larger (fast) drive and a separate (storage) drive I'll be fine. And I know if using raid 0 if one drive goes then your data is corrupted right?
