I have 4 SATA drives (of equal size) that I want to set up as RAID 10. I also have a SATA DVD. What would be the best use of the 6 SATA ports (RED & BLACK) to achieve this configuration?
We're not psychics! List some specs and I'm sure you'll get more help.
I can say that you'll want the four drives on the same controller, and the cdrom on another.
Example: You have 6 sata ports, 4 black and 2 red. Assume the 4 black ones are an Nvidia controller, and the 2 red ones a Silicon Image controller. If you are using bios software raid, you'll have to do it this way anyhow, since raid won't span different controllers.
I'll take gas on this one. I realized after a while that I hadn't given much of a clue and set up my signature...again making a false assumption that it would magically appear the next time my original post was viewed. I should know better.
It doesn't matter which sata port you hook it up in matrix raid, check matrix sticky thread in Storage Section, there is a benchmark on different ports variations.
It's one of the choices that you get when you CTL-i into the Intel RAID set up while POST is running. The choices are RAID0, RAID1, RAID10 (the 0+1), RAID5 and Intel Matrix Storage.
