My brother wants to switch from a P5WD2 (955X chipset) MB to a P5W-DH so he can run an e6600. He's got a 4-disk raid-5 array built on the ICH7R of the old board - but the new Asus board only has 3 (?) ICH7R SATA ports - but says you can use one of the "EZ Raid" ports for a 4th drive, but it only mentions Raid 10 with this setup. WTF ?
I'm hoping XP can manage the different MB / integrated periphs w/out a re-install, but not sure about the 4-drive raid array. Its only a data array - the OS / boot drive is on a single SATA / non-raid.
Anybody have any ideas about how this may go ?
