I have a asus a8n32-sli motherboard which i'm running an IDE Raid system
(2x80g western digital drives) plus one 250g sata 2 wd drive for backups.
My question is when my IDE drives pack it in and i need to replace them i
want to go to Sata 2 raid and my motherboard handles this but i'm wondering
if i can just keep my backup drive seperate from the two sata 2 drives i
will
be using in the future raid setup. Right now with the raid as IDE and the
backup
Sata 2 it's not a problem but when i go to Sata 2 raid (2x250g wd drives)
will
my motherboard know not to include one of the drives. Can i just setup the
raid
with the two new drives and add the other drive on the sata 2 channel and it
will
be seprate to the others giving me a different drive letter.
Thanks Steve!
P.S. operating system is windows xp pro.
