Just bought a second identical drive from Ebay to create a RAID 0 setup on
my game box below. Re-installed Win7 Pro and all my drivers copied
\Steamapps back into my new Steam installation and man is it fast.
Probably not as quick as an SSD but still noticeably faster. This is my
first RAID setup ever and the first time I've not used legacy IDE in the
BIOS. The manual that came with my board walked me through it and it
worked right the first time. The only snag I ran into was my SATA DVD
drive cable had to be plugged into another port before I could install
Windows. Highly recommended..
