I'm getting an Abit KT7A-RAID motherboard and am a little confused about how to setup my drives. My current setup is this:
I have an Abit BE6-II board which has two ata/33 ide controllers and the highpoint controller giving me two ata/66 controllers. I have an ata/66 maxtor drive which is on the highpoint controller. I have a dvd drive which is on the ide1 connector of the other controller, and a Plextor cd-rw which is on the ide2 connector of the other controller.
The KT7A-RAID has a similar setup but the second controller is a highpoint ata/100 thingy. I dont plan to use the raid functionality as i dont have enough drives (only have 1!!).
Therefore, my question is, what is the best setup on the new motherboard given the drives I have?
Cheers
