(1) WD3200AAJS HDD (320 GB SATA)
3.0 Ghz Intel CPU (800 MHz - SL6WK)
2GB 400 PC3200 Memory
Hi,
I'm upgrading my old computer for the last time. I've been running parallel ATA hard drives since there invention and have decided to use the newer SATA drive this time around.
I only wanted to run one hard drive on this computer. The problem I have, are the choices I have with this motherboard. In the manual it says that I can use Raid 0 (Redundant array of independent drives), Raid 1 (Striping) Raid 2 (Mirroring), or JBOD (Spanning).
The way it is worded, it sounds like I must run two hard drives to take advantage of this SATA techno. Do I really have to buy a second hard drive to use SATA with this board? I only have/want to use one hard drive!
Hope somebody can Help
Thanks, aaaheavy
