 Posted: 01/09/06 - 14:26 Post subject: Installing RAID with SATA
|
|
|
Just got my new parts for my system.
This wasn't in the manual but how do you connect the SATA cables to the motherboard for 2 SATA drives with RAID 0?
Do you setup one as master and slave? both as master?
just confirming before I commit to closing the case (its such a b***h re-opening it up).
Board is a ASUS P5W2D Premium intel 955 chipset.
2x Western Digital Raptor 74 GB 10,000 RPM drives.

On my system each disk is master on a separate cable.

Yea each disk is a master; however, MAKE SURE you get raid drivers for your mobo. You will need to install them in order to get boot-up and set-up.

Have you looked in the BIOS to make sure it sees the RAID? Have you made sure your boot order is correct? Obviously CD should boot before HD...
