I have two 80 GB PATA IDE drives that I wish to use in a Raid 0
configuration. As I understand this mobo, I have two options.
1) Configure one as master, the other as slave, and connect to the PATA IDE
Raid connector.
It seems silly to put one drive on the same channel as slave. Won't that
kill performance? Don't most Raid 0 configs run on independent channels?
2) Get a PATA-to-SATA connector for each, and run them off the two SATA
ports.
If they are independent channels, this would work fine in a Raid 0
configuation, right? Since these are typically PATA drives, I can use the
typical power connector, right?
Would a third option be to put one drive on teh PATA port and the other on
the SATA port?
Am I missing anything? Please straighten me out where I'm off. Thanks.
