I don't know if this has been asked before.

Can someone give me a simple explanation as to how exactly RAID 0 arrays drastically improve HD read speeds?

A raid array splits up your files into tiny slices, and puts each of those slices on a different drive in the array, so it reads one tiny slice at a time from each disc.

Awesome! The more disks the smaller the slices the faster you can access them. GENIUS!

Have the same Drive as you (WD Black 1TB) and my average came out to be 107MB/s. I guess the difference isn't that big but what would account for that (Maybe disk fragmentation?)? And access time was 12.2. I'll run it again and post mine when I get back from work. I find it interesting comparing the same products.

Background usage, chipsets, sata 2 vs 3. A lot of crap.

Wait don't I need another WD1TB I only have one? Or is it possible to break my Tera into smaller HD and then RAID them (If thats what I think you are saying)?

You need more than one drive to RAID. I think he though you already had a raid array.
