January 8, 201016 yr Hi.I'm in process of formatting and installing XP64 bit.Now I have dilemma, to do RAID 0 (I have 2 320gb baracudas) or not.What is the better solution.In case normal installation with two identical disks, is it better to install fs9 stuff on that second HD?Thanks in advanceEdin
January 8, 201016 yr If you mean you want to install FS and add-ons on a stripe that's ok, but make sure you backup to another drive regularly. If you mean to install your O.S. on this array, don't bother. You'll be reloading again in no time.
January 8, 201016 yr Moderator there is no benefit to FS in using a software RAID array. If you use a dedicated controller with a 256k stripe you might get some improvement.FS is better on it's own disk.
