ATA 133 on P4S8X
In article , George Orwell
wrote: I am trying to find out if the ATA 133 connector on the P4S8X can be used for a regular IDE hardrive without any RAID configuration. Can the SATA hardrives on the SATA connectors be used as regular hardrives without RAID as well? Any information is appreciated. Lumberjacker modded BIOS give the ability to change some Promise chips between IDE only and RAID operation. While I thought you could do that with the 20376, I don't see any options on the Lumberjacker webpage for the P4S8X: http://lumberjacker.kettenfett.com/D...downloads.html (leads to...) http://www.anycities.com/user/mainboards/asus/asus.html I think the controller on the P4S8X is the same as the P4PE, and this thread describes the process of getting one drive to work. Since the chip is RAID Lite, and the single drive is considered an "array", I'm not at all certain if you could have two or three separate drives off this controller. (The P4PE has a Lumberjacker "Full RAID" offered, which means you can have more than one array on that board ? I wonder why the same isn't offered for the P4S8X ?) http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...t.newsfeed.com This thread also has some positive news. Maybe you won't need any hacks. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...0a%40phx.gb l Paul |
