Here is the link to the web site. Currently support win xp only, btw I don't use vista. The software is quite expensive, but ... ...

btw, for 4. Not partitioning HDDs at all, how does it help to improve performance?

should be very very fast.. but a waste of space.
I would rather 2 x HD for OS and another 2 x HD for program files.

I tried single HD for OS and another Single HD for program Files..
it work wonders! So I am expecting the 2 HD RAID0 solution to fly.

anyone can get me 2 x 7200.2 Seagate SATA II 2.5" 100Gb drives?

i used to separate program files on a different hdd, but very difficult cos default always on C drive. So, in the end i just give up and keep OS and programme files together in C drive

Not partitioning will improve read/write performance when writing between disk volumes.

To further improve performance I am a fan of using smaller capacity, higher speed drives for dynamic things like OS and programs. Slower high capacity drives are used for relatively static files.

yeah raptors are great but the fact it is still SATA1 just makesme a bit picky and turns me off.

actuallyi am thinking if 2 x 7200rpm 2.5" hd raid 0 would be a good idea.

Take up minimum 128MB per drive, must have enough system memory if got a lot of drive.

good for low power consumption, but bad for cost/gb.

How about WD1600AAJS? 8mb cache put you off?

you can use Acronis TrueImage. i think got free trial version.

you can use it to make an image and copy over your new hdd.
