[quote The Grim Ninja]You cannot boot a software RAID.
Ever.
I would suggest you take a 320 for the startup disk. RAID the two 160's into a 320 GB drive (less formatting) and use that volume for scratch disk. Backup to the other 320 GB drive.
If you have money, just buy a newer big drive that will probably be faster than the RAID anyway, and use it.
I have a software RAID setup with 2 Raptor drives. I boot from it everytime I boot the computer. Am I misunderstanding what you are saying?
