Gee Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 I am planning on building a storage server for a Kiosk Manufacturer that wants to use it to update their kiosks.They are planning on using an Intel Desktop board (I know, I tried to get them to use a Server Board). So here is the configurationIntel 865PERL Motherboard512 Meg RAMPentiun IV 2.8 GHz PrescottHere is the storage they provided meIBM 9 Gig SCSI4 - Western Digital 250 Gig PATA, 7200 RPM, 8 Meg Cache2 - Seagate 400 Gig SATA, 7200 RPM, NCQ DrivesThe question is, how should I configure it? The SCSI drive has to be the D: Drive, as it is used for mission critical applications. So that cannot be the boot drive. My thoughs are as followsC: - Boot Drive Primary MasterD: - SCSIE: - Secondary MasterF: - Primary SlaveG: - Secondary SlaveH: - SATA-0I: - SATA-1I don't think I can get the SATA drives to boot in this configuration, so I am going to go with PATA as the boot drives.Anyone with experience using this motherboard and SATA drives? I am just concerned that the SATA will conflict with the SCSI if I set it to boot.
