Clear up a couple (or so) RAID0 queries...

[Magic Man]

Thinking about the possibility of a RAID0 array for a new build but just wanted to check a few facts...

A RAID array depends foremost on the driver to implement it - if that driver gets corrupted or an update breaks it in any way, the entire arrary could be compromised?

That RAID driver is required to be loaded every time Windows starts - if for some reason it was disabled from the startup, would you be stuffed?

Cheers...

A good setup then would be to boot from a single fast drive, e.g. Raptor, and use a RAID0 array of two drives for games...?

I think I'd prefer double the mtbf with a single boot drive than a RAID array.
