I hope this isn't a stupid question.
I found out the hard way that before you can setup RAID you have to enable it in SATA mode but before you can do that you have to load the drivers before you install the OS or else your OS will not boot (if I understand correctly).
Now I have no wish to RAID my HDDs at this point but I was wondering if running your HDD is SATA mode vs IDE mode makes a difference in performance.
