The P180 does have a fan down there though, its on the other side of the metal divider, on the PSU side? Or did you have to remove this fan?

Yeah I had to remove the fan what I will try to do is take the 2 sata ones and put them up in the upper chambre
so that would leave the 2 the 2 IDE at the bottom one thing too the PSU fan is covered from the drives cables

I do audio/video editing I have 2 drives for videostocks 1 for SFX and 1 for photostock
Iwas gonna go raid 0 but I heard it's very hard to recover
all those drives are on external backup drives as well

Punctuation is your friend, it makes your posts easier to read. We encourage the use of proper English because it makes it easier for us to understand what your asking, so we can answer your question properly. We all come from different places, so we all have our own slang, and it can be difficult to understand what some people are asking.

That being said, I discourage the use of RAID 0 on drives that are used to store Data. There is no redundancy so if one of your drives crash, you loose all of your Data. If you do use RAID 0 you should use it on the drives that where your OS and Programs are installed. This is where you will benefit the most from the modest performance gain of RAID 0.

There is one thing I do like about RAID 0. It shows all of your drives as one drive. So it makes it easier to find where your stuff is stored. You said that you backup your Data on external HDs. So if RAID 0 crashes, you won't loose everything.

I understood it, it was just hard to read without punctuation.

See I have nothing there is that what that black plastic bracket is for???

I looked in the manual and no topic on that!!!

So basically if you look from left to right it would be PSU-FAN-HARD DRIVE CAGE???

in my warm room (81ºF) my 320GB 7200.10 shows in SpeedFan as 39ºC... I have no other drives in the case (at this moment) and my temps never get much above that
