[Colonel Blip]

Hello, All!

Is it possible to setup a RAID0 with one IDE drive and the other a SATA
drive?

Thanks.

It isn't happening Colonel. Both drives must be on the RAID controller. RAID
is way over rated anyway.

RAID
is way over rated anyway.

Which level?

RAID 5 can save your bacon.

Depnds on MoBo.
Some Asus MoBos allow RAID using IDE & S-ATA drives

And your experience with raid is?

And your experience with raid is?

I ran a pair of SATA Raptors on RAID0 on an Asus P4C800E-Dlx for a month.
Too many things to go wrong for a very negligible benchmark gain. CPU usage
actually went up by 1 or 2%.


It's not just me. It's well known that RAID performance on ATA and SATA
drives have not lived up to early expectations. RAID5 (for example) is
indeed more secure, but require 3 drives. I think money is better spent on a
very fast primary drive and a large inexpensive secondary drive for backing
up data.


Sorry for the long O/T post.
