So, if I put 3 8mb cache WD hard drives in RAID 0, would they behave essentially as if they had 24mb cache?

im not totaly sure, but i believe Raid0 only can have 2 drives.
Raid5 uses 3+ drives.
So basically Raid0 w/ 2 drives Would be alot faster then 1. but if you got into raid5 it should be faster, but im not sure on how much. Raid5 cards are pretty exspenisive
heres a Raid0 reveiw with the wd 80gb 8mb cache drive:

Depending on your raid controller, you can have either 2 or 4 on raid 0

IMO 4 drives are raid0 is useless. i mean if 1 gets an error the whole array dies. and uve lost everything. if your that crazy about needing speed then id get a small scsi drive, or raid5.
