Help me setup RAID 0?

[irishbug]

Hello, I bought a GA-MA790X-UD4P mobo, and a couple of 1 TB Barracuda's, and Windows 7. I want to do a RAID 0 configuration as I hear it may help with my gaming application. I like to fly FSX, can someone lay down the steps I need to take in order to do this? I am no newb, but I have never done a RAID setup before. Thanks guys!

It will increase HDD throughput, which will help load times but not your during game FPS. The drawback is if you get an error on either HDD it affects both.

I hope you weren't planning on this as a BOOT/SYSTEM DRIVE !

Your motherboard manual has complete instructions.
