    Can a mod change the subject to "Switching to best arrangement for my 3hdds, raid 0?"
    Hey everyone,

    IHey everyone,

    I am switching from Linux Ubuntu to Windows 7. My question is not so hard, but I just want to know exactly what I can do in my dilemma.

    I have 3 internal hard drives (2x 160gb Hitachi, 1x 160gb Western Digital).

    What are my option as far as raid arrays arrangements are concerned? I wanted to continue using raid 0.

    Can 3 hard drives be in raid 0? Or can only 2 at a time? Do I raid0 my two hitachi drives, and install the Os on the separate drive? Or.... =\

    Basically, what is the best setup that I can arrange for myself for my desktop. It's been a while since I've done this.. and Ubuntu automatically does this for you without any intervention, and I just don't know what's best for me and HOW TO DO IT... =\ lol I've been spoiled


    Can someone please help? Thanks

    Why do you even want RAID0?
