Raid 0 Help

if their SATA drives their not gonna have jumpersCYSYKO

Yes they do - they have jumpers set whether the drive is operating at 1.5GB/s or 3.0GB/s.  At least the 150GB 10,000RPM drives in the OP do...

Positive.  I have the WD Raptor drives in my system.  I also got a couple of 750GB Seagate SATA drives, and I had to configure them to 1.5GB/S using a jumper.

You can't have 3.0 Gb speed when using Raid 0 ? By the way Raid 0 offers very little performance gain in games and applications, it's just good for synthetic benchmark scores.

Jumper off: 3.0 Gbits/sec

Jumper on: 1.5 Gbits/sec

naah, they help almost everywhere: Booting, copying files, loading times in windows, easily writing pagefile, decrease loading times in games, improve loading in games with open enviroment like oblivion.

basically, RAID 0 rocks.
