My motherboard is the SOLTEK SL-K8TPro-939. It has PATA raid as well as SATA raid. I have 2x200gb ATA 133 Maxtor hard drives in RAID 0 for storage. I want to upgrade to like an Asus A8N-SLI board but it does not have an extra ATA slot for just RAID and I have 4 ATA devices already. I have already read the SATA 101 about changing RAID controllers but I don't know if that is relevent to this.
My solutions and problems:
I guess I can get a RAID controller card for my hard drives but will i be able to easily switch without losing data?
I can also buy some converters and plug in the Hard drives into the SATA RAID slots but how would i convert that without losing data?
And I also suppose I can put my HDD on the ATA channels and use the converters on my optical drives. Then I would need to convert the Promise RAID to NV RAID.
Which is the best and how would I make that work?
Thank you for your help!
