was to setup a 100Gb-ish RAID 0 for XP 32bit and apps, with rest as a RAID 1 for data. I copied the Intel RAID drivers from my Mobo CD to a floppy, set up my SATA drives as RAID in Bios, then setup a 120Gb RAID O in the Ctrl+I utility on my x2 500Gb WD...

when the onboard is loaded. It finds both RAID1s: 1st Drive: RAID:Intel Raid-1-Hulla 2nd Drive: RAID:Intel RAID-1-Hulla (case sensitive - the full names of the RAID1s contain a "-1" and a "-2" to differenciate - but the names are truncated. But BIOS...

enable the Intel RAID "Option ROM" (Read Only Memory chip). The latter contains a POST program which you invoke with CTRL-I (at the right moment). Once inside that Option ROM, you can initialize your RAID 0 array e.g. by assigning the component...

of the chipset. ICH9R Raid port, I had no problem pairing, but the disk drivers had problems. When installing windows, u have to press F6 then problem is they always say my floppy is not copied correctly. Well... i'm sure my floppy disk and drive has no problem...

time. From and old school stand point, RAID 0 seems very logical to me. But from a technology stand point, RAID 0 might not be the best option for a SSD based system. It's counter intuitive to the platter drive world of RAID but this is part of learning...

the implementation of the RAID 5 on the Intel RAID controller that is in the motherboard. As you can see my wifes system is now in RAID 1. RAID 1 has never complained about one of the drive members failing. The reason why I am even here today is because...

the mobo Mobo using intel storage matrix Ok, enter to the BIOS and in the advance options... find some option that say RAID, JBOB. Select the option RAID and save it. in the console it says both drives are member drives in the raid volume it also says raid...

bit of a red herring really as these have nothing to do with the problem ! I have now just installed 2 more WD 200GB SATA drives to the two vacant SATA (Data) connectors on the motherboard. I configured these with the Intel RAID option ROM utility (as...
