im using the abit KT7a great MB and no problems using raid 0 on 2 HD`s and they ackt like 1 and really fast too

Just one thing the HD should have the equal size to get all gb`s used.
If u have one 20gb and 1 30gb, u will end up with only 40gb all in all on raid 0 (u will actually loose 10gb caused by the raiding of the disks)
if 1 30gb and 1 30gb u will get 60gb as it should be

Friend have 8 SCSI disks in his comp: One for Windows, one for swap-file and one for temp-files and rest are for storage.

He's a Dweeb.

Hi All,
KT7A Raid Mobo here as well. Only problem I have found is a Resource issue with the Videologic Sonic Fury sound card I am using. (Sounds get go missing then re appear later). It is documented on the Videologic site though and manually assigning IRQ's Solves it.

TTFN
