Hello all,
I have a quick question:
I have already purchased my new IT7 and various componentry along with it, among this stuff I bought 4 two-connector rounded IDE cables.
I don't have a RAID setup and I'm not sure I want one (I don't know if the performance outweighs the risks, etc) however, I need to know if the RAID connectors on the board can be used as regular ATA channels.
I was intending to run my CD-ROM drives on the main board connectors, and the two hard drives on the RAID connectors. But I just realized that I might not be able to do turn RAID off.
If it's not possible, I suppose I could move to RAID since my two HD's are identical. Otherwise, I have an ATA/100 card from Promise.
Also, any threads that you know of that describe the performance increase with/without RAID?
Thanks!
