Can I run 4 Hard drives on my RAID 0 setup or even 3?

I first choose to run 2 20GB hard drives to give me 40 gigs and then I have a 80 gig hard drive and my 80 gig is full and my 40 (2 x 20's) is beginning to load up can I run another hard drive on my array and if I can would it be a good idea?

I have an A7V333 RAID Mobo.

Thanks for the help

You can run as many drives in your array as you have controller space for (4 for most built in solutions). However you will want to use identical drives for it to work properly. If you do not you will get the lowest capacity of all the drives X # of drives and the performace will be limited by the slowest drive!
