Ok to start off i decided to redo my installation of windows to start off fresh. Im running windows 7 x64.
I have 2 x WD raptors 150gb each, bout a year and a half old. And a Seagate 1TB HD.
I first used the raid utility by hitting cntrl + i to delete my raid 0 volume. I then created the volume with the two WD raptors.
Exited the utility and began the installation of my OS after creating a partition on my "raid" disk. (To get rid of the 100MB partition used for the system backup crap)
After completing the setup i downloaded matrix storage manager and enabled write back cache.
My bios is setup correctly for raid, im just second guessing my process on how i did this.
Did i screw up anywhere? i just want to know im getting the best speed out of the raid 0 setup.
