Just saw a TV show that said that Raid 0 actually slows HD "reads", but it does dramatically improve "writes". Can anyone confirm this? Is there an online article on the topic?
Thanks

Skip the RAID. RAID arrays are great for writing data to disk, but you actually take a performance hit when a RAID has to read data. You're better off with a large, single hard drive.

There's been lots of tests lately showing read speed falls almost the same percentage as write speed increases. Even Maximum PC had an article on it. IDE RAID is more about marketing than muscle.
