Probably a dumb question but I have 2 fasttrack 100lite ide RAID channels on my MB and want to play around some with it. I have 4 identical 20gb, ata100, 7200rpm hd's that I want to use, can I use fat32 partitions on those drives? Want to use fat 32 because all my other drives are fat32 and fat cannot access ntfs(correct?).
Not really interested in fault tolerance, but speed, and does not need to be bootable, so is my best bet 1 array & raid 0 (striping). What about block size, just play and see what works best?
On another note any issues converting existing hd's(ones that already hold data) from fat 32 to ntfs using something like the drive converter in W2k or XP?
