Linus, can you do a complete guide to setting this thing up? You have no idea how helpful that would be.

[SuneFyr]

hey just for fun,,, try RAID0

[Mike Withers]

No

[Ivailo Alipiev]

Left one of the drives out by mistake....

[Kevin Clingerman]

Can each of these drives do 200+MB/s reads? That would be very impressive vs my WD black and my spinpoint f3 at around 60% of that speed. Perhaps I am missing something?

if you're going to be running a RAID array off your motherboard, yes. if you're going to be using a RAID card, no. =)

Have one of those 89GB IDE drive xD

[James Willson]

if i'm going to be using the raid configuration on the OS does my chipset need to say it has raid support?

[HBTechnoDude]

Dude I feel cool now. I have one of the hdds he has. But I formatted it wrong so now it is only 2.2 terabytes.

[Laurentiu Dinca]

Um... can you give me one of those older Seagate drives? They're expensive over here!
