I do appreciate youre asking why I want it. So, I was thinking MB Raid and
not "Real" raid because I'm not going to spend no 30$ for Raid adapter.
Generaly I'm looking for the best solution available without spending more
mony.
I want raid 0 for the speed. MB raid wont give my any speed? maby, but I'd
like to see it with my own eyes...
So you say there is no sane solution for this situation (or none that you
know about?) fine, that answeres my question.
I can see you guys really don't like what I'm doing. You don't have to.
There is a part in "The Rock" where John Mason asks Stanley Goodspeed: "How
do you like your options?" and Goodspeed answers: "I don't".
