If loosing data is the only way i will never use raid for storage again as it seems to be a real pain in the royal but. Starting to wish i didn't get this motherboard now. maybe i should of keept my dfi 975x infinity.

Thanks for the help.
Raid is good, unless you are changing Chipset makers...
Also, why use raid for data store unless its Raid 1 for security. Its the OS that gets the performance benifit on raid 0

I have my OS and all my work / development systems on 2x 150GB raptors in raid 0 for speed. My data could sit on normal disks as the files do not need to be read at great speed.
