Yip you need two hard drives for RAID0 (perferably identical drives). You may as well read the wiki on it -

Cob, read through the Wiki. Pretty interesting! I can get the exact same drive (model) that I have for under $70. From what I understood, RAID 0 would be best for me as it provides the best read/write speed/performance. I'm not too concerned about mirroring because I can take a backup of the absolute essential/sensitive data and stash it aside. Day to day jobs aren't life-threatening.

Just two questions:
i) Do you suggest a Hardware or Software based RAID 0?
ii) Can you make partitions on a RAID 0 array - or does it all show up as 1 drive without possibility of creating partitions?

Also, I'm assuming, if I add another 320GB identical drive, with RAID 0 i'll actually get around 600GB space, right?

Is this easy to do on this P5Q Deluxe (Thought i'd throw this in there to keep this On-Topic )
