RAID 0 configuration
I wonder if the following is possible on the Precision workstation T3500 and T5500. I would like to have the OS on drive 1, and data stored on a RAID 0 set of drive 2 and 3. I can't seem to find this in the online manual which has a very thin description of the the BIOS. Thanks for any info!

This is not possible, as a RAID 0 volume stripes data across two or more HDDs in order to improve "read" performance.
RAID volumes (e.g. 0, 1, 5) are comprised by a group of 2 or more discs that when bundled together are treated as (1) volume by the operating system.
Most often, the creation/implementation of a RAID volume is done at the hardware level (e.g. Intel RAID Controller is embedded on the motherboard) so it is a one size: striped, mirrored or parity, fits all for the hardware platform.
