I need more storage (audio tape collection) with reasonable
access speed. I am set up on the Intel SATA controller with
2 drives for the primary system in WinXP. I want to add
drives to the Promise controller. I know it can run in IDE
PATA (not RAID) mode and have done this on another machine.
Questions:
1) Can one run one drive using the RAID driver without
creating a RAID array? ie, use the Promise connector and
usual driver in non-RAID form.
2) If that is not possible, what is the latest ATA
(nonRAID) driver and where is it available? I have
100130.zip
3) Is there an adapter to use skinny SATA-type cables to
connect an SATA drive to a PATA controller? - I would
prefer to buy an SATA drive and connect it to the Promise
controller
