Raid 0 Question

[tukulka]

A question to which i cannot find an answere alone...
I'm going to set a RAID 0 on my pc to increment performance (I'm a Gamer and Video Maker).
Now the question is. I have 2 320gb Seagate 7200.10 HD and setting them to raid 0 I will have more or less a 640Gb Disk.
Since I ofter format my pc due the quantity of **** software, troyan ecc that after some time i got on it I was asking myself.
If I make a partition of let's say 80Gb from a Raid0 HD, will I still have Raid Performance? Or i need to leave it like one only HD?
Thank you

Both volumes will be used by Windows as if they were a singel hard drive, so you should be able to partition it as you see fit.

what raid controller do you have? if you have the intel chipset use the matrix raid options. Usually ctrl-I during start up to setup a raid 0 and a raid 1.

If either of the drives goes down you'll lose both raid 0 parititions.
