P4C800-E Deluxe Raid Question

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

For a RAID 1 setup, you typically would use two SATA drives on the Intel
Controller for optimal performance. You could also use a pair of SATA
drives on the Promise controller, but why would you unless you already had a
boot drive on the Intel controller.

You could also put a pair of PATA drives on the Promise controller in either
RAID 1 or RAID 0.

And of course you could do something like Raid 0+1.

Good Luck!
