RAID configuration - how to??

[albix]

Hi all.
Can someone tell me how to configurate a RAID 0 + RAID 0 on an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Mobo?
I have 4 WD Raptor 74Gb and I wish to connect them into two striping unit (C and D) each with two disks in RAID 0 configuration.
Many thanks for your suggestions

The instructions for setting up either the Nvidia RAID or Silicon Image are in the manual.

Your going to need to load the drivers prior to installing Window via floppy. I hate to say it but for desktop use you are better leaving them individual rather than RAID 0. The performance is little to none at best and you run a big risk of failure.

" If you haven't gotten the hint by now, we'll spell it out for you: there is no place, and no need for a RAID-0 array on a desktop computer. The real world performance increases are negligible at best and the reduction in reliability, thanks to a halving of the mean time between failure, makes RAID-0 far from worth it on the desktop.

OK guys, I understand it's better NOT to configure in RAID 0 at all. What is the purpose of RAID 0 then? Many thanks for your answers.

i'm not sure, (no expirence with A8N-SLI). try enabling raid in the bios or/and through raid bios setup (i think you need to press F10, can change from mobo to mobo), nvraid utility.
