Three identical disks in Raid0?

[yannis76]

Hi,

I have an Asus A8n-E with the Nforce4 Ultra. I was wondering whether I can setup three identical disks (raptors) in Raid0.

Thank you
Yannis

Don't see why not, but just rememember, Limit of SATA is 150MB/s, the Raptors have a transfer rate of around 55MB/s each so 165MB/s for all three in Raid 0 but this goes over the 150MB/s SATA limit, so you won't get the full performance out of them, I suggest just putting only two of them in RAID 0...and sell the other one, or sell all three and buy a 150GB RAPTOR..., and when you get some cash buy another 150GB and put in it RAID 0..

Sata II is 300MiB/s.
