Drive Xpert- Raid0?
Hello again all, i was wondering if anyone had any experience with Asus P5Q series mobos?
I have a P5Q-PRO and currently am installed to a WD 320gig. I want to know it will be any quicker installing to Raid-0 with the WD 320gig and a WD 200gig? Both are sata2. Although i know it will be faster does anyone know of a rough idea of speed increase? (just a guesstimate will do)
And now for the specific P5Q stuff...
This board has a feature called Drive Xpert on it, and although in the manual it states that you can only use the ports for data storage i have seen posts on the net from people that say they have been able to use it as a boot setup, and this is what i would like to try if the speed increase will be noticeable. Only thing is, is that out of all the posts that i've seen with people saying "oh i did it and all was fine" i've never actually seen a post with any tips on how to get this working with regards to making driver disks and formatting ect.
This will also be my first time trying Raid so i want it to go as smooth as possible..
Thanks all
*edit*
I do have a spare pcie 2 port sata card lying around, but it's only sata1. Would this still be faster than 1 drive installed the conventional way if the Drive Xpert thing turns out to be a flop?
