Win 7 and Raid 0 Intels.

Anything special i need to install when running Win 7 and a pair of X25-M drive in Raid 0? I have always ran tweak tools etc and used intels matrix driver.

I have two X25-Ms in raid 0 on windows 7. I did nothing but boot from my USB drive and installed it. I didn't even need to install the raid driver. Only tweaks I did were turn off defrag and system restore.

Damn, I coudln't even get it to boot up initially through USB. Had to drug out an old CD rom drive and install vista first.

hmm what about the intel chipset drivers? I guess Windows 7 installed the latest since its so new. Did you guys bench your drives to see it they were performing properly? From what I have read there should be a small gain in performance.
