I've 3 questions.
1)
I read the raid FAQ but my question wasn't completely answered.
I'm about to build a new pc, the motherboard (asus K8V) supports raid 0,1,10 using 2 x storage - Serial ATA-150 - 7 pin Serial ATA
full spec is here http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?action=info&AvdID=1&CatID=10&sku=120573&view=detailed
my question is if i buy only 1 drive now id i add a second drive later will the exisiting data be lost, or do i need to uses a 3rd drive as a backup.
2)
is there a cost-size-performance ratio to keep in mind whe buying a drive ie the cost per GB.
3)
can ide and sata raid be used together and if so can the boot sequence be changed or do you have to boot off the ide or sata-raid
thanks jc
