Thanks!! was going for software raid yeah i could tell hardware would be better its more "permanent" Thanks okay so i would hook the two ide cables from the hd to that card and then run windows cd to set up a raid... Is that correct? and also i have a 150 gig hd right now dont ask me.. thats what it says it suppsoed to be 160 i think... Well i want that info to be transfered to my raid 0 hd's...
