Raid Question

[markallen]

I plan on buying a DFI lan party UT MB and I want to go with 2 Raptors in raid 0.Can I use my current SATA HD(as storage)along with the two Raptors?

I don't see any reason why not. It should just see the two drives as one big master and the other as a slave. You might have to format the current drive and move everything to the new drives. I could be wrong...wait for someone to confirm or deny

 

[computermaineack]

bldengineer is correct, you can indeed have a RAID 0 array and then another single harddrive...I currently have 2 HDD's in a RAID 0 array, and another 2 harddrive as single drives.

So it doesn't matter if the slave is SATA also?

 

[kof2000]

sata doesnt have slave or master

 

[markallen]

So I can plug the raptors into SATA port 1&2 and my backup drive into SATA port 3?

Yes that should be fine.
