I can not get my new SATA DiamondMax Plus 9 120GB to work with my ASUS P4S8X using a built in Promise SATA RAID controller when the disk is not set up as RAID.
When I boot I can see the disk in the Promise fasttrack utility and under windows it is listed in device manager as a SCSI drive.
I tried to set up the disk in the Computer Management/Disk Management utility in windows but there I dont even see the disk.
My promise fasttrack 376 driver is ver 1.0.15
I had to set it up as a raid 0 array to be able to use the disk in windows. What does this mean for reability & performance? And can you have raid with 1 disk?? Crazy stuff!
Why is everybody and his dog putting raid onto mb's?? In my opinion raid is totaly useless outside a server because-
1. Who is willing to pay twice as much for a slightly faster disk that is twice as likely to crash (raid 0) ?
2. Who is willing to pay twice as much for a disk that is not faster (raid 1)?
3. Who wants the booting to be even slower because the RAID controller must find the disk(s) EVERY time you start the PC?
