Trying to build a new system (2nd build). I purchased 2 Raptors (74Gb), and a WD 250 SE16 for a backup drive (all OEM's). I would like to Raid 0 the two Raptors and set up the 250 as a backup drive. My MB is the new 680i EVGA 122-CK-NF68. Any advice out there on how to set this up? Should I set up the Raid first, then install the 250, or can I plug them all in at the beginning and config the 250 as a backup in the BIO's?

Hi, not sure what you mean by backup drive.

When I am configuring windows, I will allways set it up with the least amount of hardware connected that I need to run the machine and then add everything else, 1 at a time, to make sure that it all gets installed properly, the way I want it.
