2 SATAII HD in RAID 0 VS one SATAII HD?
Some people said 2 SATAII HD in RAID 0 doesn't make a difference with a 1 SATAII HD by bare eye. Is it true? Because I plan to config RAID 0. Pls help.

I'm running 2 x Seagate SATA II's in RAID 0 and I notice the difference in reduced game loading times predominantly. Although the computer does feel nippier altogether with a RAID array tbh

but if you lose the data on one, they both go 
plus if u accidently format the array rather than your external - you lose the lot and its a hell of a lot harder to recover anything - experience

Is it very obviously? Because I mainly built for gaming.
mrapoc,
I used to read at other forum, they have a easy way to upload back the data if one of the HD is spoilt.

Always backup anything you can't afford to lose.

I have all valuable data on my RAID array backed up to an external drive so it's not an issue and it was easy as to recover - experience

I never setup raid 0 before, is it very easy to setup? Any guide? I ready the article on Tom, more HD is faster, I intend to setup 80G X 5 or 160G x3. So is it possible to setup this config by using the RAID provided by the MB?

Why not use 4 drives and use raid 0+1, then you have extra speed plus backup. Win-Win.
