RAID on Master/Master or Master/Slave?
I have set up a RAID 0 (striped for performance) with a pair of 80 GB WD IDE
drives and made them both Masters; one on the promary channel and one on the secondary channel. Is this the best way to set them up or should I move one to the Slave position of the Pimay channel? Ron |

Master/Master.
______________________________ I agree - definately master/master. I have that setup in my pc, although a mirroring raid so that important data is more safe. Greetings! Tatu |

Are you saying that your motherboard DOES have a RAID chip on it? Normally
you don't use the Primary and Secondary IDE ports for RAID on most RAID enabled motherboards. -- DaveW "no_one" wrote in message ink.net...

Yes, the P4P800 has the ability to run either an IDE or a SATA RAID in
addtion to the normal IDE primary and redundant drives; I believe that it can support up to 6 drives under XP with all the IDE and RAID combo's available. It is pretty cool.
