I ordered the A7V333-Raid M/B from newegg and was wondering if I will be able to use the raid controller to run one hard drive. This would leave the ide primary and secondary to run my dvd/cdrom and burner. Its been hard researching motherboards that are so new, motherboard manufactures don't give much information - mostly marketing hipe!
 
yup the raid controller can be either used for a raid, or it can be used as an extra ata100/133 controller (im not to familiar with the a7v333, but in most cases it is controlled by a jumper on the board itself to switch between raid or just a plain ata controller)

but its possible its controlled in the bios
 
most boards flat out dont support anything other then harddrives on the raid controller

some boards say they support cdrom/zip/etc but the ones ive seen have nothing but problems if they are setup that way
 
You can install CD-R on Raid controller, but it's not recomended
and it will decrease your system performance.
Actually they recomend ATA 66 and greater to be installed there.

That's the way I set up mine now, It works great.
