Dual-Booting and RAID0

[Threads]

hey Guys,

recently, i've been looking into RAID0. initially i assumed that if RAID0 were implemented in the hardware then it would be invisible to the software, and so i assumed that all software, including the boot-loader, would just see a single HDD.

although, after looking into it. it now seems that this is not the case and using RAID0 can cause problems for the boot-loader. therefore, i was wondering if any of you guys have dealt with the problem and how you overcame it?

i am also interested in what is generally considered the best setup for a RAID0 system? i am currently considering a setup where i have 3 HDD-s the first of which acts as a normal HDD (i.e. no RAID) and is the drive from which i boot OS-s, then having the other 2 HDD setup with RAID0 and using them to store video and games etc.


Regards,
