A8V Config Without RAID: Possible???
Hi All,
I'm almost ready to build my A8V/3500+ system. I'm still waiting for my SATA drives. I hope this isn't too dumb a question. But, is it possible to use the two drives without RAID? I'd like to put the OS and system apps on one drive and apps/data on the other. Looking through the manual there doesn't seem to be anything on this config. The closest thing I see to what I want is JBOD. But even there, JBOD will see both drives as just one big one. Thanks. |

Hi, that's how I'm running it. I have a 80g Maxtor on one channel and a 20g
Maxtor on the other. it is better to use the Via Sata as it enables you to disable the promise controller in the bios, thus making bootup times quicker. Chris C "Robert Nurse" wrote in message om...

Raid is optional. You can turn off both of the Raid bios'
