New to SATA Raid

[AMDCrazy]

How hard is it to configure SATA raid array/ I was thinking of getting another hard drive and go raid but need to know what all it entails to see if it will worth my time.

Which raid level? On board controller? Which drives?

 

[AMDCrazy]

I don't know which raid level the one that will make my drives the fatest. The drive in my sig. I will raid with another of the same.

Read this.

All of it. That will tell you everything about raid.

If you don't need it, I would advise against RAID. You can get two fast drives, and load everything on there like that, keeping your data / storage seperate from your operation system. If you just outright want speed, I would suggest getting an external (PCI, PCI-X, or PCI-E; not on the mobo) controller, and hooking up two fast drives (74GB Raptors or whatever floats your boat--search for hd benchmarks, and use them), and then have another 120-250gb hd for storage...

I was hoping he'd discover that for himself when he read that guide....
