Booting on raid is (can be) a nightmare. Keep your big drive for your OS
(W7, Ubuntu) keep it heavily journalised just in case (ext4 or reiserfs
for linux), and go for it on the 2 SAS 300GB as Raid 0 or 10. You will
be amazed by the performance.

Very much thank you Tim,
For your time and knowledge about RAID.
Your information came out at the same moment I was going to ask a
question before I begin my RAID experience.
My configuration is 2 SAS 300Go disks and a 500 Go ATA drive which I
use for storage. On one SAS I have windows 7 (I use rarely) and on the
other Ubuntu Studio 10,04 which I will up grade to 12,04
I was planning to partition the 500 Go on two to installe Ubuntu and
Windows 7 and use two SAS 300 Go as RAID 0 for quick projects and
back-up on an external drive or another disk ATA. Further when I can
buy some more SAS hard drives i will try RAID 10 which seems the best
configuration.
Can this plan work ? I mean can I have my OS on a ATA drive and use
two SAS drives for the temporary work on RAID ? if yes I will begin
the experience and find out how to do it with ubuntu.
Thanks a lot.
Haldun.
