Faster to implement or faster performance?
For some reason the concept of OS-based RAID is not appealing to me.
Since I'm building a new PC for the wife and everyone else who tries
to take over her PC (as I am doing now because my other monitor is in
use) it will be running Win98SE. I was thinking that RAID0 would be
nice for the added speed and drive space (20G x 2).
