Two RAID 0 hD's + One non-RAID ... Possible?

Hey guys,

I'm getting a computer in pretty soon that has two RAID 0 configured SATA hard drives, and I'm wondering if I'll be able to plug in my ATA Hd in to get my files off of it. Will there be any trouble, or should it work OK?

Thanks,

I don't think it'd be a problem. I've not used serial ATA, but I'd assume it'd work as an additional controller, and not exclusively. I've got a RAID controller on an Epox 8RDA+ motherboard - 2 HD's attached to the RAID controller, and one on the motherboard's regular IDE controller. The RAID array is drive C: and the motherboard's hard drive is the F: - there's also a ZIP drive and DVD drive on the motherboard's IDE controller.
If you are going to set up Windows, make very sure that it is installing on the RAID array (assuming that's what you want), because Windows will most likely see the regular IDE drive FIRST, and assume you want to install Windows to that drive instead.
 
Should be ok, except the other thread having problems with drive letter assignments using pretty much the same setup as you, without the RAID.
 
Alright, thanks guys.

This will help make the transition a lot easier...

But if it messes up, I blame the lot of you :evil:

Naw, thanks 🙂
