I read a lot of this webpage. http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/matrixstorage_sb.htm
I have the ICH8R chipset on the P5B-e Asus mobo.
Right now I have a 320gb seagate 7200.10 hd. I want to buy a 750gb seagate 7200.10.
Could I then do a raid 0+1 of 320gb and have ~400gb single hd? I was reading about how you can have part raid 0 and part 1 with just two hard drives, and also that you could combine the raid 0 and raid 1 to have the benefits of both. Is there some article I can read to give me more info? Can I not do any of this without an exact 320 gb drive (without wasting the extra space)?
