Wanting to go SATA

Ah thanks for that. So this Raid Business, which is the RAID where it reads half from 1 disc then half from other so it drops seek times by half?
 
Got my Hitachi Deskstar 7K160 NCQ 80GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (0A32727), and having big problems sticking them in a raid array. I do the F6 when Installing Windows Xp Pro 32bit.

Load the drivers from the floppy, but then I get this:

File nvraid.sys caused an unexpected error (4096) at line 2113 in d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c

Been at it for 3 hours now, what do I do? :(
 
RAID Bios? It comes up when I boot up the machine, RAID Healthy 158GB. It's just when I go to start installing RAID Drivers from floppy, that error comes up. I think the floppy maybe the culprit. And I don't have any floppy drives at home :\
 
Turned out to be a duff floppy, got everything working great. Opted for RAID 0 with a 64K Stripe. Which is faster, RAID 0 or RAID 1? I tend to browse net, download files, play games. Any recommendations?
 
Ah cool, thanks for that. I haven't noticed windows being much faster as of yet. Going todo a Bench in a minute to see :p
