Setup RAID 0 on a single partition

[Rawkill]

I recently bought 2 WD HDDs and already partitioned one of the drives. What I want to do now is to setup a RAID0 on one of these drives (Lets say Drive E:\ ) with a partition of another drive (example Drive J:\ ) of the other HDD. Is this possible and if so then how to do this ?

Though my knowledge is very very limited in this matter, but i dont think raiding two different virtual partitions from two different physical drives is possible or even a good idea. Though I need to do some research on this.

You can try the method used in the following link but its for raid 1 not raid 0

Yes it is possible indeed. I did same with my system a while ago. RAID 1 and RAID 0 both virtually.

Results are also good for RAID 0 actually.

I hope you know that RAID 0 is not for storing important files. If the RAID breaks you will loose everything.
I use mine as Game install directory. Games load a bit faster and installs quicker. Specially it helps with open world games where it loads bigger stages while playing.
