[Imc-tech] hd striping in win2k

Apparently Win2k has built in hd striping for arranging IDE HDs into raid 
0, which is very useful for audio and video editing, since it greatly 
increases access time and overall datarate, which is one significant delay 
factor when rendering video.

Here's an article on Tom's Hardware Guide about it:

Comments?  I use a SCSI Raid 0 array at work (implemented in hardware), and 
get very good sustained data rates of 18 mb/s, which really speeds up video 
editing work.
