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 ...

I wonder why the controller does not have room for additional drives? Even
though you can connect up to 12 drives on this board? ...it seems that you are limited on the most powerful controllers (SATA) to only 2 drives per. "Kilgore Trout Jr" wrote in message ink.net...

For whatever reason, standard SATA controllers only support two drives.
On the GA-8KNXP (which i'm using now), there are two SATA controllers that happen to support RAID. Each of the two controllers support two SATA drives. On my system I have two WD Raptors in RAID 0 on the SI controller, and two Seagate 160gig SATA drives in RAID 0 on the Intel SATA controller. On another system (A Dell Dimansion 8200), I added a SATA controller (Non-RAID) that I picked up at Best Buy (I think it's also a SII contrroller) for $50 and it too only supports two ATA drives. On that system I have another WD Rapto along with a Seagate 120gig SATA drive. on SATA controllers, each drive uses a single cable and connects to it's own connector on the SATA card. SATA controllers do not use master or slave or cable-select as do normal IDE controllers and each port on the SATA controller only supports one drive. SATA controllers that support more than two drives are hard to find, whether they support RAID or not. I've been keeping my eye out for a SATA RAID controller that support 4 drives (or more) for a reasonable price. If I could find one for under say $150.00, I'd pick one up.

Tim,
I purchase all my hardware at newegg. I saw this advertised for $89.00 at NEWEGG just now. this may fit your needs.

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? |
