    I have no personal experience so I will leave particulars to others, but I know the Dell XPS 410 will do raid 0 without a controller. Make backups, if one drive goes, you lose all data. A Guy

    The controller should be built into the motherboard, however you will get much better performance if you pay for a dedicated RAID controller, but not for $200. I agree, though back up just in case 7 refuses to load or you can't find suitable RAID drivers.

    You can use the RAID on the motherboard it will work fine. However I would not use RAID 0 unless you are going to make daily backups. Hard Drives fail all the time and using RAID 0 will cause all data to be lost.

    Great, not to beat a dead horse, but especially heed advice on backups, it's a must. A Guy
