SATA

I am looking to change over to SATA hard drives. My motherboard accepts two
and states it supports Raid 0 & 1. Now I understand the difference
concerning the two raid formats but I am wondering if I can ignore the raid
set up and just use the drives the same as my PATA drives as stand alone
drives. I hope I have been clear enough of my intentions. Please ask if
more information is needed.

This is a motherboard issue, the information you need will
be in the manual or on the mgfr's website. But what you're trying
to do should be possible with most recent motherboards.

Sure, you can use single drives too.
