2 Raid 0s on asus P5AD2

[pagan666]

im trying to set up 2 raid 0 modes on asus onboard raid controller( sillicon and intel)

one Raid0 as boot and another RAID0 as data.

4 SATA HDs are available for this..

according to toms HD FAQ, i should set up boot raid0 with 2 masters, and data raid0 with 2 slaves

is this correct??

and im not even sure if i could set up 2 raids on one controller,

im planning to set up two Raid0s on Intel controller..

(SATA1+SATA2) as bootraid (SATA3+SATA4) as data raid

if this setup is wrong, then please gimme detail instruction to set up 2 RAID 0 modes

Interesting, I wonder if you could create two R0's then stripe them for parity?
Speed and performance with redundancy.

"(SATA1+SATA2) as bootraid (SATA3+SATA4) as data raid"
That sounds fine to me.

2 stripe raids..
boot raid will be used for applications like office, photoshop, and etc

and data raid will be used for gaming(nowadays, the size of most games is easily over 1 Gb or 2 Gb)and others.

this system is not for work or maybe a little.

so i dont really need Raid 1 to protect datas.

i can back them up into CDs if i need to.

this is my first time using both SATA and RAIDs

the manual came with hardward didnt really help noobs like me.

i just wanna make sure that im on the right track.

thanks to replies above.

any further instruction would be very helpful.

thank you

I think you are definatly on the right track and you should have little/no problem setting that up. Once you are in the raid bios it is pretty self explanitory. I haven't used the intel sata raid bios yet but it is probably fairly simmilar to most. There is usually some sort of automatic thing where you just choose what you want to do (RAID0), select the drives you want, hit ok. Then repeat for the second raid0.

Thank you all, i just want to exprience the performance of RAid, since it came with MB..

i know having both raids as mode0 wouldnt be a good idea.
