my question is this.....i also have a mushkin callisto deluxe 120gb sataII drive......can i get another one of those and run 2 raid0 arrays???

my board im switching to is an asus P8P67 WS Revolution
 
Solution
NOTE: when you switch boards you will more than likley have to re-create the raid array's

most boards do allow multiple raid arrays per raid controller.

often they will not list this in the specs tho.
Iwould like to know how they are performaning after being in use for a couple of months.
Reason. For SSDs used as a OS + program drive there is little advantage to Raid0 outside of very impressive Sequencial read & write preformance. The down side is the loss of Trim and the M4's do not have one of the better Garbage Collection (CG). PS:Love them, have a pair of 128 gig M4s NOT in raid0.

Raid0 for SSDs,or HDDs, are great when used as a Data drive when working with very larg file structures such as DVD movie files, Large spreedsheets, CAD/CAD drawings, and working often with large jpeg photo files.
