You can set up the RAID0 as a software RAID in your operating system. It's the easiest way to do it, and works fine for what you have in mind. But of course keep in mind that RAID0 is a risky way to store data. Use it only for data you can afford to lose (i.e. intermediate simulation results), and store data you can not afford to lose elsewhere, including backups. |
