I am RAID-ing 2X 74GB Raptors. My machine is used for gaming, I will not be doing graphic/video work.
Explanation with replies would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I am using a hardware RAID controller, my motherboard is a DFI NF4 Ultra-D, the integrated RAID controller handles RAID 0/1. I do not plan to RAID with the Windows RAID utility.

dear member,
if you dont care for redundant mirroring of your hard drives then RAID 1 is out of the question. Since you have only two drives then RAID 5 config is out of the question.
Raid 0 and partition during your windows setup for at least 15GB for your OS partition giving plenty of room for your security updates in the future and 3rd party software. Then partition your remaining partition into one big drive D
kind regards,
ben

Despite how un-realistic your understanding of RAID-ing is,
Generally RAID stripes are 512 bytes, although I thought I read that the stripe size can be adjusted on some RAID programs, or they might be in SATA II, I don't remember.

Dewman has the right idea. His link is the first link on this list of links pertaining to RAID 0 stripe size: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=RAID+0+strip+size+best It might not have all of the information that you'll need, though, so I included the entire list.

I don't know what the best stripe width would be but that depends on the sector size of your drive. The raid itself at its biggest is the size of the smallest drive. In this case both are the same size and you can hold up to 148GB

i've got confidence you're able to do a comfortable raid interior of residing house windows while you're making an 80 gig partition on the 250 gig no longer easypersistent. you're able to try this below disk administration below residing house windows xp and 2000.
