ok i tried this but when loading windows it brefiely shows a bluescreen of death. and wont load in to windows with it set in raid mode.
is this because the single drive were windows is installed is not in raid?

im not sure you understand what im trying to do here.

i dont want to install windows on the raid0 drives.
i want to keep my current windows installation on 1 drive

and raid0 2 seperate drives just for data.

i thought the read and write speeds would increase a bit.
how much would they increase then?
