So I just put a few old drives in a RAID 0 using mdadm and it was originally just for STeam games, but when I hit install, I don't know how to make it download onto my RAID 0 array... So is there a way to do that? If so how?

Using a Symlink
- Mount your RAID array somewhere (like
/media/tank) - Close Steam
Move
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/to your RAID array.mv ~/.steam/steam/steamapps /media/tank/steamappsMake a symlink
ln -s /media/tank/steamapps ~/.steam/steam/steamappsStart Steam and install some games.
Using Steam
Sometimes Steam detects mountpoints and shows them in the install dialog.
Mount your RAID array somewhere and it should appear.
Your raid device is /dev/md0. If you haven't done it already, you need to format it. for exemple
mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0
Then you can mount it :
mkdir /media/tank
mount /dev/md0 /media/tank
then follow Matthew's instructions.
