Does this make any difference or sense for that matter. I have 2 Intel 40 gig in RAID0 will I gain anything of course storage space, but speed in adding another drive or should I just sell these 2 and buy 2 Intel 80 gigs and RAID 0 those.
I had 4 80GB X25-M's in RAID 0 at one point - I saw no difference between 2 and 4 (using ICH10). I eventually went back down to 2 in RAID 0, and after a few months the write performance degraded to the speed of a single 160GB X25M - so I moved to a single 160GB X25-M, I am now TRIM happy about my decision. I noticed slightly faster installation times while in RAID 0 however like I said without TRIM support a few months later and you'll want to HDD Erase the drives and start over. Also booting is faster because I can run the SATA as AHCI instead of RAID(no raid check). My point is if you're considering buying 2 80GB's I would recommend just picking up a 160GB. GL
