RAID Question...
Hey,
I'm going to be installing a RAID 0 array in my system soon and I came across a potential problem: I only have six SATA ports and four of them can be configured into RAID. The issue here is I'm only going to use two hard drives for said RAID. I have five other drives to consider, two extra hard drives, two laptop hard drives, and a DVD burner. If I take four SATA ports away, I can only have two other drives running, which is a problem.
I'm kind of thinking is it possible to put a DVD drive in a SATA RAID? And, can I use the extra remaining SATA RAID port to perhaps use for a laptop drive without it being in part of the RAID 0? I'm slightly lost here....
