So here's my scenario. I have (3) 60GB SSD. I want to use (2) in RAID 0 for Ubuntu and (1) alone for Windows 7.

What is the best way to get about this? I know how to create the RAID 0 array with the (2) disks and install Ubuntu on it. But how do I get the RAID array with Linux on it to dual boot with Windows 7?

Linux - RAID 0 (2) SSDs
Windows 7 - (1) SSD

Thanks.

The dual boot is drived by the bootloader grub, but i'm not sure you can boot on a raid0 as it is not set at boot time yet

Thanks for the help man, maybe I'll just use 1 SSD for each with no raid :\

seems a good choice (often the simpler the better)
