ripken204 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 im looking at this motherboard and it saysSerial ATA & IDE RAIDThe onboard Silicon Image Sil3114R and ITE 8212F RAID controllers plus the Intel ICH6R southbridge provide the best solution to your RAID requirements on different storage standards. The Intel ICH6R supports RAID 0, 1 and Intel Matrix RAID Technology on 4 Serial ATA ports. The Silicon Image Sil3114R controller offers four additional SATA interfaces and allows RAID 0, 1, 10, JBOD, and a RAID software patch to support RAID 5. For IDE hard disk drives, the ITE 8212F controller provides RAID 0, 1 , 0+1 functionality for two ATA133 channels.does the raid controller allow you to use IDE hard drive?i dont know about this so plz helphttp://www.asus.com/products/mb/socket775/...-p/overview.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 also what is better SATS or IDE?and how many fan connections does the board have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raskren Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Did you bother to read what you posted?For IDE hard disk drives, the ITE 8212F controller provides RAID 0, 1 , 0+1 functionality for two ATA133 channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meno Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 this means you can use your ide hard disk.SATA is way better than IDE (150Mbit/s vs 130Mbit/s) and will only getter betterwith SATA2.As for the fan connections see if the asus site lets u view the manual for the motherboard, it will tell you.

puntoMX Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 i can only fin this for the fansCPU / 2 x Chassis / Power Fan connectors<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Wrong post .Any way- 2 IDE ATA133 drives can make RAID 0,1- 3 3 pin connections on your motherboard, 1 used for CPU fan, 2 others for the other fans in your system.

I can tell you there is almost NO diference of speed between them, not even with the upcomming SATA 2.Also most drives brands don´t even border with ATA 133, just using ATA 100, and still there is almost NO performance boost with SATA .
