the options I think: 1. OS drives in RAID 0 and Data Drives in RAID 1 on Intel chip (If Intel Chip allows two seperate RAID Arrays) 2. OS drives in RAID 0 on Intel Chip and Data Drives in RAID 1 on Gigabyte Chip (I've heard that Gigabyte RAID is slower...

question is - would I need to put my operating system boot drive on a seperate drive, or could it be on a 'different partition' on the same RAID array? I read something about the Intel chipset allowing multiple RAIDs across the same set of discs. - Is...

should really be a storage array... I understand and can follow all of those directions, and have installed Vista on Raid 0 connected to the motherboard before but havent booted from a seperate raid card. And the card already has a Raid 5, 5 drive 2GB volume...

it has for RAID 5. -The computer will be used for general web browsing, torrents, media playback and storage of important data such as business work, school work, family videos and pictures. -The OS and torrents will share a hard disk seperate from the RAID....

Raid 10(sometimes written as Raid 1+0). Raid 10 requires a minimum 4 drives, not 3. Use the Raid 10 array for the OS+Apps & Storage and then you can create a Raid 0 array for Media Cache & Scratch Disk. I can tell you from experience that Raid 10 is faster...

hit on Raid 0, but I don't know of even a single person who has ever done such a thing. I've done it. The reason being that I always partition my system partition to some small size, 20 gigs for a raid array, and then have the remaining array for data and...

and setting it to "raid on" and that didn't help. Thanks. Did you create the array in the RAID BIOS? Since you changed the mobo, you changed the RAID controller. It's likely not going to recognize the old array. You'll likely have to create a new array...

only have these 2 drives and I have windows 2000 installed on my system. (But I can exchange it for a windows Me disk anytime) Can somebody please tell me what is more effective: a) running windows 2000 on my RAID array or b) using 1 of the drives...

you go with a RAID controller card and a 2nd HD you get left with no spare parts, double the HD space (well, double if you use a striped array), a seperate RAID controller that is not stuck on your mobo and a nice performance boost. PS What do you use your...
