Raid 0 Help

so i am about to install 2 150 GB Drive with 10,000 RPM And I have evga 680i mobo my question is do i need to set jumper for both drive or just one or What ?Raid 0 Help
If those are WD Raptors, all you need to do is set the jumpers on both to 1.5GB/s, connect the SATA connectors, and configure the RAID in the BIOS.Raid 0 Help
if their SATA drives their not gonna have jumpers
[QUOTE=''CYSYKO'']if their SATA drives their not gonna have jumpers[/QUOTE] Yes they do - they have jumpers set whether the drive is operating at 1.5GB/s or 3.0GB/s.  At least the 150GB 10,000RPM drives in the OP do...

[QUOTE=''CYSYKO''] are you sure your not talking about SCSI drives? [/QUOTE] Positive.  I have the WD Raptor drives in my system.  I also got a couple of 750GB Seagate SATA drives, and I had to configure them to 1.5GB/S using a jumper.

By the way Raid 0 offers very little performance gain in games and applications, it%26#39;s just good for synthetic benchmark scores.http://www.anandtech.storage.showdoc.aspx?i=2969%26p=9

Jumper off: 3.0 Gbits/secJumper on: 1.5 Gbits/sec
The WD Raptors only support 1.5GB/s.  That tells you that 3.0GB/s is all hype and no substance.  3.0GB has more theoretical bandwidth, but in real applications not even the Raptors can begin to get CLOSE to saturating a 1.5GB/s channel, much less a 3.0GB/s.   So don%26#39;t worry about that.  Focus on average access time and throughput instead.  You will find that even with the fastest drives, that is measure in MB/s, not GB/s.
