Ghost is actually really good for imaging, and I had used it exclusevely before switching to True Image. The reason I switched to TI, was because I was having problems with image restores using ghost after I set up my RAID 0 array. Turns out, that Symantec admits that ghost does not support RAID, however some have had no problems with it.

I e-mailed Acronis True Image and asked if they support RAID. They replied back that they do support RAID, and listed the RAID controllers supported. I am using the Intel ICH5R controller on my P4C800E-Deluxe mobo, which was on the list. I gave it a try and it worked flawlessly. You can even image within windows, without having to boot to some DOS screen. The GUI is very user friendly, and I was able to create and restore images without even reading the help pages. I highly recommend the product.
