Hello techies!
Most RAID guides I find seem to be dated back to 2005 or so and speak of Floppy disks for RAID drivers. Will a new motherboard like the Asus Crosshair IV Extreme really need that? Hasn't the procedure been simplified since then?
In short - will I need a dedicated PCI RAID controller to set up a RAID 0 array (and install separate drivers while installing the OS)? Or will I be able to just plug two SATA drives in the above mentioned mobo, set the some BIOS option to merge them and enjoy the speed boost the easy way?
Thank you in advance!
