You would have to have a seperate boot disk. There's plenty of
connectors on that board, you'd just have to buy another HD to boot
with
The point is that RAID 5 is an excellent array configuration, and if
it means you have use a seperate boot disk to do it, well, manually
back up your boot partition to the RAID once you're installed and
you've got a ghost to refer to should your boot drive fail.
Kind of a RAID 5+1 the hard way. /shrug
But to refute:
Since the RAID controller is on the mobo wouldn't a software patch
have to be BIOS based? And wouldn't that be called a Flash or BIOS
patch? Or is the software applied to a 'after POST, prior to Windows
boot' level file/driver and the RAID 5 functionality is applied
before the system boots? This is really semantics.
