SATA and one partition out of 2 HDD
Hi friends,
I just wanted to know if there is a possibility of creating a single C: drive out of 2 Serial ATA HDD in Windows XP. Will setting up a RAID 0 or 1 volume accomplish that? Any ideas? Thanks a lot Regards Gautam |

RAID 0 will do that AND give you a performance increase to boot... BUT, should one drive go down, you lose ALL your data.

Okay, so does that it mean that two SATA drives would show up as one single partition when I use RAID 0?

Right.
Personally, I'd rather have data security with 2 seperately partitioned drives than the slight speed increase  Make sure you have a good backup system in case you lose the array. With HDDs, it's a matter of when, not if.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was just curious to know however if one RAID 0 volume composed of 2 SATA HDD's would appear as only single C: drive
