Think I already know the answer - just want to confirm...
I want to mirror 2 SATA drives on my Asus K8N motherboard
Normally, the drives should be of the same size (to prevent non-utilization / waste) of the "excess capacity" of the larger drive...
Wondering - does hardware raid mesh by raw drive or by partition?
If I have a 200g and 300g drive - was wondering if I could partition the larger drive to 200g and 100g partition.
I would then raid the 200g drive with the 200g partition and then access the remaining 100g partition as stand storage.
My understanding is that the drives are accessed in-total, and partitions are ignored. Thus, I would have a mirror raid of 200g and nothing else...
