Sorry if these seem like dumb/repetitive questions - I haven't really kept up with PC tech for the past year and a half, and so have forgotten most things/unaware of new developments.
Currently have a GA-965P-DQ6 rev1 with 3x 250GB disks in RAID0 using the intel chipset.
Can I create a second RAID array using 2x 1TB disks on the intel controller? (Have not bought the disks yet) ie, have 3 disks in RAID0 + 2 disks in RAID1 on the same controller?
Is there a limitation to the size of the RAID volume? It will be RAID0 so the max volume should be around ~1TB.
My motherboard also has a JMicron (GBSATA2) controller with 2 ports, but I prefer not to use it after hearing all the BSOD/Driver issue horror stories and the lower performance as it's attached to the PCIe bus, not directly to the (south?)bridge.
Any help is much appreciated.
(Asked a similar question in a local forum, but I got told told to buy the disks and "suck it" so figured I'd come back to TH forums after 1.5 years of inactivity )
