Alright guys, been thinking about doing this for awhile, but wasn't 100% sure where to start..
software or controller? pros cons?
what software should i use?
any good tutorials (i surfed, but didnt see anything great)
raid 1, 5 or 9? which do you think? prolly 1 eh?
I use the RAID controller on my Soyo MB in RAID 0 configuration. No mirroring(sp) but performance is inhanced. Your capacity is equal to the smaller of the two drives. I got a significant speed increase when I went RAID...
I just dumped my raid

RAID 0 is "striping", thereby, your capacity is equal to the sum of your 2 drives.
of course, if 1 drive goes down, you loose the data on the other drive as well . . .
Yes, you are correct. I meant to say that say you have a 40 Gig and a 30 Gig, you will get only 60 Gig capacity instead of 70. :D
