Hey everyone, I've read through the RAID FAQ and everything, and my second hard drive should arrive in the mail tomorrow. This is going to be my first time attempting RAID (I'm going to use RAID 0). I'm going to be using 2 Seagate 320GB SATA drives. Are there any tips you guys have or any common mistakes I should avoid? Thanks in advance!

I recently attempted my first RAID with 2 WD Caviar Black 640gb. I made the mistake of attempting to install my RAID without a clean install of windows. Are you planning on a clean install. If not, I can post the link to let you know what you need to do in order to properly set the RAID option in your bios without a bsod.

Be sure that you have the correc driver for the RAID...or in the installation could be a problem.
