I am thinking about buying two of the 74GB Raptor drives because of its performance.
I am going to do a clean install of XP, and figured now would be a good time to get a fast hard drive.
Right now I have a Seagate 120GB SATA/150 drive. I want to setup the two 74GB Raptor drives on a raid, and have the old 120GB drive as a storage drive.
1) Will I be able to do this with the ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe motherboard?
It says "ICH5R with Integrated SATA and RAID 0"
2) Any places I can visit that will explain how to setup this type of configuration I want?
3) I wanted to put XP and my main programs on the Raptors, and then the 120GB will store all of my regular files. If I access these files a lot, would I still notice fast performance with these Raptors?
Anything I should know before I try this? I would also like to get a backup USB drive too, but that is sometime down the road.
