I use RAID0 with my barracudas. I had one before and buy same one and sett up my raid. It's working perfect. Even upgraded my MBO bios and everything went fine for me. I never had any probs regarding corruptions or anything like that. I don't have any special HDD ,but I'm pleased how they work... Some things load much faster,specially if you don't have much sys memory. File transfer is also something faster and snappier
