In my experience, almost all programs can be installed on any drive.
Some older programs didn't offer this option, but I haven't seen that
in a long time.
A lot of people would caution against Raid 0, especially onboard RAID,
which has a bad reputation for reliability. If the programs are on a
different drive, I question whether there would be any real gain in
speed.

He wants to put the OS on a pair of MLC solid state drives (80G) which will be contained in a 5 1/4" enclosure and utilize Raid 0. He would like to have all his programs (other than the OS) on a conventional hard drive. His question to me was whether he can run all the programs on the separate (D) drive. We've both built several computers, but this new stuff is unknown. Does anybody have any comments or suggestions as to the feasibility and practicality of such a setup? Any and all comments would be appreciated.
