raid jumpers

seanandnik · 02-07-2007, 07:54 PM

i am building a new rig, a few questions though, i have 2 seagate baracuda 7200 320gb sata hard drives, i am going to run them in raid 0 or 1 (whatever one is mirrored) when running in raid, how do i set the jumpers? is there a master and a slave drive? do i set them both the same? also i bought oem drives frm newegg, so no manuals, does anyone know what jumper settings are what on these drives? thanks

SATA shouldn't have jumpers unless you have to set them to 150 or 300. Otherwise, no master/slave settings like old IDE drives.

well i answered my own queston and didn't want anyone here wasting time on something i already have. sata drives, since they are each connected seperately to the mobo, do not need jumpers, the jumpers on the drive are for factory use only.
