RAID0 setup

2 80gb drives, array as one, use hardware controller. Is the result one
160gb logical drive or can this arrangement have partitons? Some things I've
read seems to say ok, and even that the RAID doesn't have to be for all
partitions, which I'm a bit confused on.

Thanks.

When using RAID-0, the operating system sees it as one 160GB disc. How you
use that is up to you, but partitioning always needed, be it one big or more
smaller partitions...

If you use RAID-1 those 2*80GB are seen as 1*80GB....

It is one logical HD, which you can partition as you wish.

With any SATA controller I know of, once the pair of HDs is designated as
RAID 0, ALL of it is RAID 0. Some hgh-end controllers may allow mix of
different RAID configurations on the same controller.
