Right I aready know all the pro's and lots of Cons to putting my m4's back into RAID 0 I'm just after a vote really and don't know how to put 1 up.

So just anser

Aye

Or

nay

To put my 2 X Crucial M4 128GB's Back into RAID 0.

I managed to get into my bios last night and noticed when I installed windows 8 and did my mobo bios update it knocked my sata drives out of AHCI into IDE and no matter what i change in regedit I can't get it back into AHCI without a reformat so going to do a full fresh re-install of windows 8 anyway.
 
Pros...
None? Outside of benchmarking for your purposes I assume? Also making the assumption you mean RAID0.

yeh RAID 0.

Ok Pro's are

1) Looks good on benchmarks
2) Only shows as 1 drive in my computer so can insatll all games and programs just to the C: instead of having windows and programs on C: games on D:.

Con's

1) Slower boot.
2) Reliability of 2 drives instead of 1.
3) No TRIM for AMD RAID 0 yet.

Isn't a pro as you can do this without RAID.
