Raid1 array using a mobo K8T800 with a Via ....

[lucky]

I had a scare last week when my primary HD wasn't seen in my Bios. I
was lucky, a cable had worked loose.

I would like to complete a Raid1 array using a mobo K8T800 with a Via
chipset, two 200 Gig Seagate IDE ultra ATA Drives, and a 400 gig IDE
drive as a slave. I am considering purchasing a HighPoint RocketRAID100

PCI IDE Controller Card RAID 0,1,0+1 JBOD.


Can I Raid1 the two Seagates and keep the third drive as a slave with
the already mentioned components?


TIA

Unlikely. You will have to connect the 3rd one to the IDE controller
on the mainboard. Then it will need to be master.

Arno,

Then that would give two masters on the HighPoint RocketRAID100 PCI IDE
Controller Card and a master on the mobo for a total of three?

I appreciate the answer.

Nonsense.

Nope.

Clueless.

For a total of three, which will be two visible (since tha RAID
array presents itself as one disk to the computer).
