CthulthuDawn: Question is, can I achieve this by having 1 single larger hard drive than the raptors. Say I have 2 raptors at 150gb each (300 total) is it possible to have just 1  500GB drive to back up onto, or do i need 2 additional drives in a Raid 0? I'm a bit lost on that equation. Sticking to just the question above, NO, you cannot ...

I can't tell from your original post, but I assume you are using the onboard RAID option with the ICH9R southbridge. Write performance on RAID 5 without significant onboard (or onchip) RAM is very slow--I would certainly NOT recommend it.  If you can, get another drive and make it RAID 1+0 (much faster).

I have a RAID 0 currently setup between 2 250 GB SATA hard drives now and I was wondering if it would be possible to transfer it to the new motherboard. Do I just try to set it up with the same settings on my new motherboard? Thanks,Aaron

Will this hard drive be compatible? And, since I'm planning on ...
