Good question, let me explain:
If you install Windows on SATA, later you cannot turn to RAID (single
disk)
or vice versa. On Intel's site:
The comparison is SATA -vs-- SCSI,....not SATA -vs- RAID
RAID with a single disk,...by definition,...is impossible. The "A" in
RAID,...means "Array",..which by definiton means more than one.
A single disk can only be a "Non-RAID Volume". It can run from a RAID
Controller but the controller will operate as a SCSI Controller or a SATA
Controller,...but not as a RAID Controller,...at least with respect to that
one drive. You can easily mix RAID Volumes and Non-RAID Volumes on the
same Controller on the same BackPlane.
