I just bought another 300GB Hard drive tonight and then just had a gut reflex that maybe what I am trying to do is not possible with the BX2.
I was thinking I would run a solo raptor and then a mirrored set of 2 slower 300GB DiamondMax 10 drives on another channel.
Will this work?
or possibly runing 2xraptors raid 0 and 2xmaxtors raid 1?
I just assumed you could run two independent channels.
I did a little more reading and there are 2 RAID controllers, an Intel and a Marvell - 8 SATA connections. Do all the drives have to match on each controller or can you mix it up?
...could you do a raid 5 and single, a raid 0 and raid 1, two raid 0s, etc?
