So I got 3 of the Kingston drives from the Amazon deal and am trying to decide on how I want to set them up, whether to RAID0 them all or use them separately for OS/apps and games. Those RAID numbers certainly look really nice, but did you actually feel any difference? Main reasons I'm considering using them separately is cause then I don't have to deal with the RAID OS thing boot time or the array maintenance, and there are people who say it doesn't make much of a real-world difference. Though without RAID the sequential write speed is kinda gimp, and also wouldn't have to deal with figuring out how to split my apps and games among the drives. Would be running off the ICH10 on my motherboard, probably partitioned to 100GB if RAIDed to leave some space for wear-leveling.
