So I've got 2xWD 80 drives in a Raid 0 for my main drive. They're both SATA II, 3.0gb/s. what speeds should I be seeing for a raid like this?

Here's a ss of the HDTach results. Should this be higher for a raid? Closer to the 300 mark? Especially in a Raid 0 ? Or am I just crazy?

Maybe I'm missing something in the bios? Or a driver somewhere? I've already taken the jumpers off the HDDs, and I've set the SATA mode in the bios to Raid/IDE. ACHI mode is disabled, and onboard SATA is set to - Native mode.

Those are about right for that setup, sorry. 300 MB/s is entirely a marketing number at this point, since the drives only do 65-70 MB/s anyways. Running that setup on an ATA/100 bus, in other words, would be no limitation.

Try Alt+PrtScr instead of cropping it manually; you get better results that way.
