Yes, that would be the best way to go. The 80gb os drive I use are the sata drives. It is time consuming transfering data to a different HD. Usually a xcopy command or two ran in a batch file overnight. Even if it is from one sata to antoher sata connected to the mb the large files take some time.

On the servers were run the raid (raid5 I believe) through the array controller. Is that the same way for a desktop? Meaning you need a controller that can do it? Is it built into todays mb or is a seperate controller needed?
