Hey all what's up. Thankfully my PC has been running great! My SSD main drive is running low on space so I had a question I couldn't quite get the answer to on google.
My motherboard supports 2, SATA3 connections.
My current drives are SATA2 SSD main drive and a SATA3 1TB media drive.
If I were to add 2 SATA3 SSD's in RAID, does that use up both the SATA3 ports on the motherboard? or do they just combine and use 1? leaving me with 1 for my current media drive. I've never done any RAID so... sorry.
Hope I made sense,
thanks!
