RAID-0 - 4 disks in one machine (2 logical drives)

[caff]

Thinking of building a super fast PC - I do a lot of music work, so disk speed for my huge samples and instrument banks is really important.

I want a RAID-0 C: apps drive, and also a RAID-0 D: data drive - so that's 4 disks, right?

I use a single 74Gb raptor for my main disk at present, and its pretty good but I heard RAID-0 can provide more performance.

If this is at all possible, I guess I would I need a motherboard with two separate raid controllers on it? If so are there any good ones that are conroe ready?

thanks

Good point - I always keep my applications on the main drive, windows, sound apps etc. on C:

And all my data / projects / samples on D:

So if I made my D: drive RAID-1, how does it compare performance wise? And does that mean I only get the space of one of the disks?

Currently I take regular backups to another standalone drive - I don't trust powerspikes, let alone the integrity of one disk! This is why I was thinking I could try a fully RAID-0 rig.
