I'm wanting to use two of the 4 drives in the Mac Pro in RAID 0 for speed, and I wonder what you all would recommend for this? SoftRAID? hardware RAID? etc? It has to work on the new MacPro and two 500GB Drive.. Easy to do would help too!

thanks for the advise..

Hi Moose, got a document not found error, but are you referring to the built in RAID 0 of OS X? This is the best way? I sure hope so, cause it's free... all I need then is just two identical drives and I set it, and forget it?

Click on the link instead of copy/pasting.

Define "best." It's almost certainly perfectly acceptable for your purposes.
