I am trying to figure out how to mount a 3.5" device
in a 5.25" bay.  I have looked all over newegg's site
and can't find what I need.  I have an Enlight case
that has the tooless hardware bays.  Can any of you
give me a link to what it is I am asking for?  I don't
know the correct terminology I suppose.

Also, I just purchased and mounted a 74 gb WD 10,000
rpm SATA drive and have noticed no performance gain
over my regular IDE drive.  I checked the ABIT website
and they are telling me that in order to see any load
time gains, I would have to run a RAID0 configurartion
with matching drives.  Is this accurate advice?  I was
under the impression that even a single drive that was
SATA would offer a faster data transfer than an IDE
drive w/an 8mb cache.

Finally, if I do need to set up an array, any advice
on doing the setup or any sites you could point me to
that gives accurate info.  I will be buying a second
OEM drive and used the data lifeguard software
previously to get my computer to recognize the drive.


Any advice or direction woudl be appreciated.  My AN-7
motherboard has the latest Silicon Image drivers
installed for the SATA Sil3112.
