INtel raid
how exactly do you set up a raid0 for 3 or more drives on the intel sata
controller? |

I suggest you download the instructions from Intel:

OK, I probably could look for another couple of hours for the right link to
the instructions.... But I thought that I could get some simple directions from you experts. I have raid0 with 2 drives set up. However, I was curious about additional drives. On my 8KNXP I have the INTEL sata and the SIL sata. Is there a SATA cable that has two locations like the older IDE drive cables? "mark7dc" wrote in message news:UVWqb.12763$mb5.7761@fed1read02...

I am not an expert but I believe the following to be true:
Each SATA drive needs its' own cable to the motherboard. The GA-8KNXP supports up to four SATA drives using the two built-in SATA controllers. You can set them up as four independent drives or use pairs of drives in RAID 0 or RAID 1 configurations. Neither of the controllers support RAID sets with more than two drives. This board will also support up to eight PATA drives with the built-in IDE controllers. PATA drives on the ITE "GigaRaid" controller can also be set up as independent drives or as RAID sets. It is theoretically possible to run 12 hard drives off this MB! "colt45" wrote in message ... OK, I probably could look for another couple of hours for the right link to the instructions....

That is the kind of info I was looking for.
So, in order to RAID additional SATA drives, I have to now use the SIL controller since I have my original INTEL SATA already committed with 2 WD drives...? I think that is what my conclusion should be. thanks, "Kilgore Trout Jr" wrote in message ink.net...

You got it. You will need to enable the H/W SATA Controller (i.e. Silicon
Image) in the BIOS. If you're just adding one more drive or you want to be able to access two more independent drives, set it up as Base. Windows will find new hardware and you'll have to load the driver from the Gigabyte utility disk or download the newest drivers from the SI website. http://12.24.47.40/display/2/index.a...=2&r=0.7280084 "colt45" wrote in message ...

Tim, the only limitation of the PCI controller is that it uses the PCI bus
at 66mhz, you will not get the full POTENTIAL of the true SATA 150MB transfer speed. "colt45" wrote in message ... how exactly do you set up a raid0 for 3 or more drives on the intel sata controller? |
