Just got two Western digital Raptor X's (150GB), An was wondering what raid card is best for these thing's?
This will be the first raid setup I've done, So I'm unsure on brand's for raid card's.
Raid 0 should do fine for these.

Thank's.

Raptors are only available in Serial ATA150 flavors.

oh man i got 2 raptors in raid 0, its a beautiful thing lol. im using intel raid matrix or something. its onboard raid and works like a charm. if you have a newer systems you might have on board raid controllers. and yeah they only come in 150's but they are faster then the 3.0's

I've always wondered why they weren't available in SATA II. Is it because, it would make them even more expensive?

your mobo should have raid drivers that u install at the begining of windows installation, no need for a controler

I went with the Evga 680i. So I wasn't 100% shure if I needed anything extra with it or not.
Thank's.
