I just bought 2 160gb SATA2 discs, i would like to know, if i use Hardware raid, would it work? Should i use software raid? THanks

I'm not sure if hardware RAID works of if anyone has tested it. Will you make a try for the community?

It doesn't work. MeDevil's kext doesn't support RAID yet. You can create a software RAID with the Disk Utility, but it won't be bootable. Though you can boot from an alternate disk, and set the root drive to your raid with bootflags.

Use that How-To. When I did it, I didn't create the seperate boot partition, so I was using 2 whole drives. Instead I copied the boot files to a USB Pen Drive and used that to boot. Though, It was slow to boot, but it got the job done.
