Hey, i actually did the wdidle3 thing in dos today before doing the raid, as i also did some research in wd20ears as raid and people have said they work good in raid, just the default timeout thing was making movie playback stutter, but with the wdidle3 tool it changed it from 8 second to 60 minutes so that is fixed. I am downloading that tool right now and will let you know what happens. Btw, i also tried removing the raid, and when i deleted it in bios and restarted the comp, the post message still says that one of the two hard drives has "raid inside", i continued to windows but was stuck on the windows boot flag for 10 minutes before windows actually loaded.
Edit: I just tried installing that software but keep getting message " This computer does not meet the minimum requirements to install this software"
Edit#2: I decided not to do raid, too much hassle for such embarrassing speeds, ill just run them separately (back to 86/mbs, only did it because was told the speeds would be double. I removed the raid finally, had to move around cables, reset cmos 3 times but it seems to work now. Thanks for the help, i really appreciate it
