    You don't really need RAID 0 unless you do a lot of data transfer or video encoding etc (or maybe combined HDD space in 1 'drive'). You cannot improve seek time by running RAID 0.

    Exactly, I tried on my two 320GB 7200.11 and two WD6400AAKS, file transfer is very fast but seek time doesn't improve at all. At least I can't feel any improvement during normal usage.

    Not to mention it's a PITA to back up stuffs if something is about to go wrong (1.2TB of stuffs if you RAID0 WD6400AAKS :lol: ) Never store your precious loli videos in it :lol:

    So I never even attempted RAID 0.

    Yeah, exactly why I never touched RAID 0.
