Dual WD Raptor RAID Issues, Need Help

[Zaki11]

I Recently installed on my computer 2 Western Digital 74GB Raptor Drives and set them up in a RAID 0. I installed windows fine and have the system running but I have been noticing some performance issues. Sometimes(At random intervals) when playing movie files or games everything will freeze up for a second or two and then continue as normal. I am kinda new to RAIDing Hard Drives and I would like to know whether this is a problem with the drives, which I got off ebay, or a problem with the drivers(or something else). Besides from the occasional freeze up the drives have been working phenominal and I didnt have this problem with my Previous Western Digital 80GB 7200rpm SATA hard drive.

Thanks for your help.

Are you using the motherboard RAID drivers, or the Windows? When you load Windows, on the Welcome screen, it tells you to press F2 for system recovery, and F6 if you have a third party RAID driver. I went to my motherboard website and got the motherboard drivers. Works great.

Turned out the drivers I had downloaded were faulty or something. Corrected this issue today by downloading the correct drivers. Working fine so far.
