Actually i would recommend creating it as two RAID1 (gmirror) devices and spreading data. it is safer and..if you can spread data well... faster. "BIOS" RAID usually use far too small block sizes, to be "better" on windows benchmarks that shows linear read speed. except specialized uses it is no improvement under unix. What you need is to spread DIFFERENT I/O operations from different task to different heads.
