I'm about to go home and play with a second 300gb Raptor.

Obviously I will want to make a backup of what is on the single raptor.

Rite now its plugged into the Intel ICH10R Controller. Is there any sense in switching it over to the ASUS Speeding HDD-enabled Silicon Image Controller?

If so, Has anyone tried this Silicon Image controller? Is it better/faster than the Intel ICH10R?

IWill I see any decent performance gains by going Raid 0, or should I just use them as seperate drives for different OS or something?
What is the forums insight?

Thanks L )

Use the Intel ICH10R. Much better controller with all of the Matrix RAID optins.

+1 for sticking with the ICH10
