Help me raid please

[TheMagicPirate]

I want to improve the speed of my pc (Pentium D 3.2, 2GB ram).

I currently have 3 SATA II Dives in my pc, 1x75gb and 2x280gb.

I currently have all my programmes (inc XP) and such on my 75gb drive, and my music and videos and rushes on one of my 280's.

I was thinking about using my 75gb one for XP and my music and other things i dont access that often/dont require much reading, and stripping (striping?) my 2x280's to split the load between them.

how would i go about doing this, remebering i want to keep about 60gb of stuff.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

You'll not see any real performance improvement by striping drives that you only use for data storage. If I was you I'd be looking at partitioning one of the 280Gb disks and installing XP on that rather than the 75Gb one. The larger disks are likely to be quicker than the small one.
