Asus P4C800-E Deluxe SATA
Hello,
Well, it is back up again. Had to go back to one of my old 40 GB Maxtor's as the new 160 GB Sata drive died, unknown if by the power supply or just failure I can only guess but Maxtor is kind and is sending me a replacement. I got an allied 300 Watt for now and will get a Antec True or perhaps Enermax? I hear a lot of good about them. I'd like some one to double check me my reading of the Asus manual. As I read it, you can hook a device up to the SATA1 & SATA2 onboard connecters no problem, (I've run one drive already without issue) but you can only use one of the "SATA RAID" onboard connectors if you are not going to run a RAID setup or if you plan to use the primary RAID connector. And if you want to use the RAID controller at all you must load the right driver(of course). Do I got it right? I plan on trying as I found out that MSI is making a SATA CD-RW/DVD combo drive and my main online source has some I can get one for about $55.00. Rather nice looking kit. With that and one more SATA drive I can remove all my IDE type drive's and cables from the box. Anyone using MSI and offer opinions? I'd have two hard drives and this cd-rw/dvd -w- Alcohols 120's "software" cd-rom drive. ME |

Hello niceguy
Thanks for the info I'll go check it out. I will offer that over the past few weeks this has gone on, I've got emails saying that a 300 Watt is fine as long as your not running a lot of drives and the like as I was (and will be once a real power supply is available). I hope to order one today. ME |
