DysfunktinaL Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I just got the hardware in I was talking about in another post.One of my next upgrades is to move from my 160g IDE, to several high volume SATAs on a raid controler.I have this motherboard and I need to know if I'll need any extra parts to get 4x300g+ SATAs to run on a raid acting as 1 hard drive. Yes, my goal is to have 1TB hard drive space. Not because I nessesarily -need- it, but mostly just because I can.I pretty much just use my comp for basic internet stuff, but now that I have my new hardware in, I'll be getting into alot more gaming like I used to do. I don't do much now @ home becasue the comps @ the Internet Cafe I work at run smother for games then mine. Not to mention the dual T1's here, versus my cable connection running off a generic wireless care w/ linsys wireless g router.So in short, I need a recomendation on 4 HDDs that will work together on a raid to form 1 HDD to windows. I use my system for gaming abd basic use, as well as some video editing on the side. I should also mention that I am a pack-rat when it comes to files and crap. I am in the middle of doing a backup before I drop in my new hardware and re-format, and after deleting everything I can live without or don't need, I am atill @ 60GB in my 'My Documens' folder.... OUCH! That is a good chucnk of my 160GB I have now.Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 other than cables all you need are four matching hard drives from the specs I read. Personally I would get two more and set them up on the other sata controller on the board as a mirrored raid and boot from it and keep all the docs programs data etc on the 4 disk raid.
