I currently have a single 160GB Maxtor Drive in my machine.

However, I was wondering if it would be beneficial to obtain a pair of 80Gb SATA Drives and pair them up into a RAID 0 array.

Then, create a single partition, format and install windows and enjoy some raid performance improvements.

With the older 160Gb, I was thinking of using Norton Ghost to then back the RAID up to the single drive for data protection.

Then if my RAID ever failed, I could replace the failed drive, then re-image with the ghost image ??

Has anyone ever done anything like this, and is it worth it ?!
 
Have to agree with 33L .... and a 3 drive setup with Raid 0 and backup drive means less backup/restore time spen than with DVD's, or even god forbid CD-R's!!!

Thanks for the input all.
