Serial ATA question...
Hi folks,
The motherboard I am thinking of getting is ASUS A8V-Deluxe. The motherboard has two serial ATA connectors with RAID 0 (striping) and RAID 1 (mirroring), and another two serial ATA. I am not thinking of using any RAID system such as mirroring on Serial ATA hard drives. When I have 3 different Serial ATA hard drives, can I use them as normal without using any RAID 0 or RAID 1 feature? ASUS A8V-Deluxe also offers IDE hard drive connections. Even though I am not thinking of using any IDE hard drive, just out of curiosity, I like to raise a question. If I choose to have two IDE hard drives and two Serial ATA hard drives in my new system, which hard drive has the priority at boot-up, meaning (which one is recognized as Primary Master)? The IDE hard drives or Serial ATA hard drives? Last but not least, does using IDE and Serial ATA hard drives in the same system cause any complication? Thanks... -- Ryan Atici |
