This is a question that fits into both the motherboared section and the HD section, so I picked HD 
I have no experience with RAID and am looking to get an Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard with a Samsung Spinpoint 250GB hard drive. Later on I may wish to add another 1 or 2 Samsung's and switch to RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10 .
After adding the drives, how would I go about utilising the extra drives in my specified RAID config (eg. do I just change a BIOS setting, and then let it migrate automatically ?) ?
Suppose, I wished to migrate the RAID setup back to a single drive at a later date. How would I go go about doing this ?
Also, what happens when one of the drives in a RAID config fails (eg. will I get a BIOS error on boot ? What happens if the drive fails while in Windows ? ) ?
