| Ok well the other RAID question got me to thinking. For my next build, which will occur shortly, I will be using two 250gb Seagate 7200.10's. I would like to set these two drives up in a RAID 0 config, however, I also have an extra WD 250gb lying around so I figured that I would throw that in there to copy and store information in case of a loss of failure in the RAID'ed drives. My question is, is this possible? I have never fooled with any type of RAID setup so am clueless how to set it up. Are the drives RAIDed in BIOS before windows install. Cause in RAID 0 the install would be on both drives correct? Also once windows is installed do both drives just show in windos as one drive?

| Ok I wiki'd RAID 5 and now im really lost. I guess what I was trying to state woth my first quest was could I RAID 0 the two Seagate drives for faaster perfomance and them install the WD drive and used as a seperate secondary storage. I want the WD available just to move information on to, and not really set up into any type of automatic information storage (RAID 5). Am I making any sense here?
