Raid 0 with 3 Hard Disks?

[Thomas Krause]

Can I make a Raid 0 Stripeset with 3 hard disks?

How is the support for large hard disks (>137 GB)?

I want to combine 3 * 200 GB hard disks to a single stripeset with an SATA
Controller (PCI).

Can you recommend a specific Raid Controller (<100?/$)?

Thank you,
Thomas Krause

You can make RAID0 with any number of drives that is two or more. I do think
that 2TB is max size for winxp for a drive, I could be wrong. There are a
whole lot of controllers out there that can do this. One thing though. If
your using PCI 33mhz (standard) you will run into bottlenecking because of
the 133mbs buss limit. Generally 7200rpm drives go around 40 - 60mbs.
